Sustaining Art Ecosystems That Resist and Nurture – Part 2
Chelsea Chua in conversation with Tif Ng moderated by Bunu Dhungana
Tuesday, Nov 18th
4:30 – 5:30, Yalamaya Kendra
Chelsea Chua from Objectifs based in Singapore and Tif Ng from Magnum Foundation based in New York will share their work and explore questions that include; What does community look like? What forms can growth take? How can arts organizations support authentic artistic experimentation beyond grant cycles and funder thematics?
This conversation series examines how art ecosystems have been built and sustained in Cairo, Siem Reap, Amman, New York, and Singapore. It explores what it means to redefine success for artists beyond prestigious recognition, maintain non-neutral positions amid oppressive systems, and navigate institutional transitions—asking what longevity means when adaptation, accountability, and care are survival strategies.
