ShrineShare

ShrineShare is a collaborative new project working with artists from the UK & Malaysia to share their visions of sacred shrines—be they ancient, personal, or imagined. What do we hold sacred in times of crisis? The result: a folio of handmade prints and guided performances exploring sacred sites, local geography, and differing values. This international exchange explores our shared hopes for life on earth.

The artists involved are: Amze Emmons, Arif Rafhan, Bethany Balan, Betti Stong, David Blandy, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Daniel Locke, Hardeep Pandhal, Jamie Oon Muxian, Jesse Joy, John Powell-Jones, Nadhir Nor, Petra Szemán, Ruangtup Kaeokamechun, Rupa Subramaniam & Shaifuddin Mamat @ Poodien

This project is supported through British Council’s Connections Through Culture grants programme. Creating new arts & cultural partnerships between East Asia & the UK.

Curated by David Blandy, Sharon Chin & Zedeck Siew
