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.
With major funding from the Getty Foundation and partners from within and beyond the region, Site and Space in Southeast Asia seeks 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.
This digital publication presents 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, roam 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.
