FROM WHERE WE ARE, HOW DO WE PICTURE THE WORLD — AND OURSELVES?

Exploring shared histories and current realities within

and beyond the region, Singapore Biennale 2016

presents a constellation of artistic perspectives by

63 artists from 19 countries and territories across

Southeast, East and South Asia.

Titled An Atlas of Mirrors, the fifth edition of the

Singapore Biennale brings together the atlas and

mirror as an imagined new instrument of vision and

thought, creating possibilities for unexpected ways

of seeing the world and ourselves.

AN ATLAS OF MIRRORS — AT ONCE, MANY WORLDS.
