[Curators' Message]
The project employs the idea of "Hybridity as a Method" as curatorial methodology. It aims to explore diverse mode of thinking, articulation and creation of communities through bypassing, mediating, translating or negotiating with various fields of academic disciplines, medium of expression, and aesthetic languages. Starting from specific stand points of departure, it responds to certain contexts of society to address various communities and individuals. The methodology is a dialectical process setting in motion to perceive each culture comparatively noting how they come into contact with each other, changing by exchanging, colliding through collisions as much as through break-throughs and hopes.
Here, the term hybridity functions as a method, a focus from the anthropological point of view that this is never-ending process of contacting with and incorporating differences, which is a fundamental condition of every culture, hence defies any forms of static or singular identity. Hybridity then become the content of the art and the curatorial instrument in the context of SEA.
