Translations: Afro-Asian Poetics explores the dynamic connections and affinities shared between the African and Asian diasporas through the lens of contemporary art. 

This multi-venue showcase features leading artists across the continents, including Zanele Muholi, Sonia Boyce, The Otolith Group, Do Ho Sun, Martin Wong, and many more. Through these works, the exhibition unveils material synergies and cultural affinities that cultures together. The exhibition also presents culinary and cultural partnerships with sites such as the Michelin-starred Nouri and the leading Chinese gallery, ShanghART. 

Translations is presented by The Institutum and curated by Zoe Whitley.
