Brack is a Singapore-based art collective and platform for socially-engaged artists in Southeast Asia. We are interested in practices of gathering, and in dialogical exchanges across mediums, disciplines, and communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We seek to understand how socially-engaged art can activate a space, community, or society, and we experiment with these very activations\u2014through audience engagement, writing, and working with artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now we\u2019re exploring practices of gathering, how to facilitate collective re-imagining of alternate worlds \/ futures, what \u2018radical hospitality\u2019 might entail, and how we can constructively engage with conflict and difference. Our work is socially-engaged, interdisciplinary, and experiential, and we seek to integrate critical self-reflexivity into all that we do. Always interested in the inter-relational, we work with a diverse community<\/strong><\/a> of artists, writers, and cultural \/ social intermediaries who are well-placed in Southeast Asia to understand these processes on a deep level. We intend for our platform to enable dynamic collaborations between practitioners, thinkers, writers, and makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from this online gathering space, our works manifest as exhibitions, talks, workshops<\/a>, dialogues<\/a><\/strong>, and collaborations with local and international practitioners, in our effort to forge an alternative praxis within artist-audience dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
