Site and Space in Southeast Asia explores the intersections of urban space, art and culture in three cities—Yangon, Penang, and Huế—through collaborative, site-based research.
Site and Space in Southeast Asia is a project funded by the Getty Foundation and partners to support innovative research in the art and architectural histories of the region, foster professional networks among early career scholars, and expand engagement with an ever more global field.
Fieldwork has been completed and the digital publication is currently being finalised.
This digital publication will present cultural narratives of art and architecture, as told by scholars, curators and artists.
Their projects range from art histories and heritage studies to explorations of sense memories and cultural mapping; their work spans historical periods, crosses disciplines, and is presented on the Site and Space website in multiple formats and languages.
On the website, readers will be able to explore the immersive map or filter via the content index to encounter individual videos, recordings, images, field notes and site reports in each of the three cities, or explore whole projects from roundtable discussions, to essays and storymaps.
