What is the Real Meaning of Diversity?
Southeast Asian Contemporary Art Through the Eyes of May J.

SUNSHOWER: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia 1980s to Now, an exhibition held from July 5 to October 23 at both the National Art Center, Tokyo and the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi, gathered 86 group and individual artists active in the nations of ASEAN, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. It has been the largest exhibition ever to present the art scene of Southeast Asia, garnering attention from inside and outside Japan. The works presented embodied direct messages on politics, history, and ethnicity that gave a sense of Southeast Asia's uniqueness of expression, a voice not found in Japanese and Western contemporary art.
