Moe Satt in his performance at BAB delves into themes of self, identity, embodiment, and political resistance. His work critically addresses social and political issues in military-ruled Myanmar. Mella Jaaresma and Agus Ongge explore together in a BAB installation the tensions between authenticity and commodification in the use of bark cloths in the province of Papua against the vexed histories of tradition and modernity amidst colonialism and successive central governments of Indonesia. Kamolros Wonguthum, currently exposing at Galery VER in Bangkok, uses feminist mythology to address power dynamics in her work and explore the intersection with capitalism through her “patriarchal social radar”.
