Creation Station: Contemporary Malaysia and Overseas China
Asia Society Texas hosts its first summer family program looking at the visual culture of ethnic Han Chinese in multi-ethnic Malaysia.
When:
June 4, 2016 12:30pm to 2:30pm
Where
Our first summer family program will draw inspiration from artwork by overseas Chinese and Malaysian nationals. The Chinese diaspora stretches across the entire globe and the settling of ethnic Han Chinese in Malaysia traces its origins to the 15th century Malacca Empire. Modern Malaysia is a blend of Chinese, Indian, and Malay traditions, reflected in cuisine, faith, and performing arts. This multiethnic reality has also created a fascinating contemporary visual arts scene, and we will explore these trends in our monthly family program. Artists whose work will serve as inspiration for our pieces include Wong Hoy Cheong, Ivan Lam, Tew Nai Tong, Yusuf Gajah, Budi Agung Kuswara, Hamir Soib, and selections from the Aliya and Farouk Khan Collection in Kuala Lumpur.
