Rising Voices: Contemporary Art from Asia, Australia and the Pacific at the V&A, in partnership with Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), is a landmark exhibition bringing together the work of more than 40 artists from 25 countries across the Asia Pacific region. The show will draw on the more than 30 years of QAGOMA’s Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art to showcase the creative landscape of the region. Over 70 works across sculpture, photography, painting, ceramics, weaving and body adornment – many of which have not been shown outside of the region – will be on display, foregrounding First Nations perspectives, highlighting both the commonality and diversity in art making, reflecting local traditions and faith systems, and exploring how artists respond to social and political upheaval.
