In the spaces of travel, discoveries of the “Other” have inevitably changed the traveler in ways both unimaginable and indescribable. Going on a journey demands a redefinition of what is found and what is lost within the multi-cultural, inter-religious, socio-historical contexts of Southeast Asia.
Throughout time, Art and Poetry have served as vehicles through which these journeys are re-envisioned and these experiences recreated; Art and Poetry help to reveal the complexities surrounding these encounters. Through art, the undoing of pre-conceived intelligences moves from abstract to concrete contexts. Poetry articulates the re-construction of found knowledge that occurs in variegated forms and in the marginalized spaces.
unFound is an exhibition (un)founded on poetry and visual art to explore the multi-dimensions of holy encounters ever-present in journeys of unraveling. unFound presents to travelers and non-travelers alike an opportunity to engage in self-critical reflection within the contexts of an increasingly globalized world.
