These conditions challenge artists to dream and imagine worlds sometimes serene and sometimes nightmarish," says Tan."Asia is not an isolated physical realm. It is not 'out there'; it is here and everywhere. We are interconnected, and artists are key actors in reimagining these ties and how they enrich and help us make sense of our lives. We chose these artists because of their engagement with international affairs and their ability to transcend borders and other divides. Art in this moment must demonstrate our common humanity and express our ability to dream together."We designed the Triennial to foster conversations in art, policy, education, technology, and innovation. The exhibition and programs affirm the power of the artistic voice and its critical role in society today."(Siddhi Jain can be contacted at siddhi.j@.in)( With inputs from IANS )
