SEAspotlight Talks
SEAspotlight Talks is a specially curated series of panel discussions that brings artists, curators, collectors and market players together to spark dialogues around Southeast Asian contemporary art and its art market.
The 2026 edition of SEAspotlights Talks foregrounded the act of doing, reflecting a belief that agency lies not in the abstract but in practice, as artists, curators, and organisers came together to consider how our practices shape the now and the imminent. The SEAspotlight Talks were curated by Clara Che Wei Peh.
