Moving beyond its association with hygiene and order, the exhibition positions CLEANSE as
a form of labour, a ritual of care, and a mechanism through which bodies, spaces, and
histories are regulated.

CLEANSE: ASIAN PACIFIC NOW

A dialogue between CLEANSE's co-curator Desmond Mah and its Asia Pacific artists, brought together to reflect on the exhibition's conceptual and material concerns.

What does it mean to approach cleaning as a cultural and political act across such different contexts, from Indonesia to Australia, Singapore to Thailand? The conversation foregrounds process, methodology, and the unexpected points of intersection that emerge when practices from across the region are placed in proximity, asking what shared questions surface when different histories of cleansing meet.
