The Restoration of Happiness
10 Oct, 2025 - 15 Nov, 2025
The Restoration of Happiness addresses Southeast Asia鈥檚 historically fraught relationship with the West, while also foregrounding internal questions of power, identity and conflict within individual nations. Working with humour, speculative fiction and futurist aesthetics, the artists mobilise digital forms as sites of juxtaposition, where past and present intersect with possible futures. In doing so, The Restoration of Happiness situates contemporary Southeast Asian art within broader debates on global modernity, postcolonial critique and the cultural politics of technology. The Restoration of Happiness is a group exhibition of works by four Southeast Asian artists that examines the region鈥檚 unstable socio-political conditions across generations. And into imagined futures. This exhibition is part of the launch of ESEA Futures, Bloc Projects鈥� annual programme dedicated specifically to ESEA diasporas and art.
