Open Call for Essays: CHECK-IN 2023
Third edition of CHECK-IN
By A&M
Each year, CHECK-IN serves as a mid-year review of developments, shifts and trends in the Southeast Asian art scene, traversing practices based in and growing from Brunei, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Featuring first-hand accounts, dialogues, observations and analyses, it is an inclusive anthology of voices from the region.
We believe this will facilitate greater understanding and appreciation of the inherent diversity and constant innovation in the art scene to share with the wider global art community.
