In Transit
For its latest immersive installation, the Museum of Brisbane is exploring growth and healing through works about intersectionality, language, displacement and reclaiming history.
Overview
Some festivals stick firmly to their set dates, making you cram your fun within a set tight timeframe. Others let parts of their program flow on for longer, spreading and sharing the love for longer. At the 2022 BrisAsia Festival, exhibition In Transit falls into the latter category, filling the Museum of Brisbane from Monday, January 31–Sunday, August 7.
Across its three-month-long stay, this immersive installation explores growth and healing, all through works about intersectionality, language, displacement and reclaiming history. To be specific, it's all about how that latter list can help growth and healing, with Filipino-Australian artist Rhanjell Villanueva and MoB's new Artist in Residence Naavikaran creating pieces and experiences to sit on City Hall's third level.
From Villanueva, visitors will spy an eye-catching entranceway, which mixes queer-coded digital imagery and video, as well as work that dives into pre-colonial history in the Philippines.
From Naavikaran, expect performance-based responses that'll activate the space, as well as events and workshops — starting with poetry sessions on Saturday, February 5.
