Purpose of the residency

My current curatorial practice explores how socially engaged art in contemporary Asia fosters dialogue and belonging through context-responsive approaches. During the TOKAS residency, I will research socially and locally rooted art projects in Japan, focusing on their relationship to everyday life and cultural memory. This inquiry aims to contribute to reframing contemporary Asian art within a shifting global context.

Plan during the residency

• Research and Interviews: I will meet with Japanese artists, curators and researchers in Tokyo and surrounding areas to explore socially and contextually engaged practices.
• Art space and Site visits: I plan to visit various art space and site to learn about their curatorial approaches and discuss potential collaboration for a future project.
• Discursive Exchange(optional): Based on the evolving direction of the research, I will facilitate a small-scale discursive gathering—such as a discussion circle—to explore curatorial ideas through collective dialogue. This setting will offer a space for shared reflection, conceptual exchange, and the development of new perspectives.
