& VARIOUS LOCATIONS

Housed in the former Supreme Court building, the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery presents over 300 artworks that trace the shared artistic impulses across Southeast Asia.

Starting in the mid-19^th century, the exhibition navigates the art history of Southeast Asia as one that is characterised by a continuous encounter with the new as the region’s artists negotiated the meaning of art and sought to reinvent vernacular expressions and aesthetics. Presented in a largely chronological sequence and punctuated by key turning points in artistic sensibilities, the exhibition also identifies how art is inseparably linked to the region’s tumultuous social and political history.
