Where I'm Coming From
Curated by _inventory Platform 
Supported by Yinka Shonibare Foundation, the Ministry of Culture, Taiwan and Pineapple Lab, Philippines
 
Where I’m Coming From is a month-long digital residency dedicated to four languages that are present and spoken by a significant portion of the migrant community actively working and contributing to the British economy and yet highly invisible: Filipino, Taiwanese, Yoruba and Berber languages.

The programme aims to open up conversations around the exclusivity of language in accessing the production and consumption of arts and culture, alongside considering the wider cultural presence of underrepresented artists and groups in the international art debates.

The project orients towards increasing opportunities for new ways of working collaboratively, rethinking the impact and role of arts and culture in a pandemic and post-pandemic scenario. It emphasises with careful thought the vested importance of highlighting diversity and multiculturalism in such unique times. Along with this, the project also experiments on how to relocate as well as adapt concepts from one milieu to another - from a physical IRL space as the programme was initially conceived, to its current translation into the digital domain. 

Where I’m Coming From  directly engages with community groups by engaging them in leading food sessions each Sunday, allowing the general audience to learn about each cultural group’s cuisine to possibly reproduce and engage in their own homes. 

Artists: Aderemi Adegbite (NGA), Taiwo Aiyedogbon (NGA), Jelili Atiku (NGA), Rhine Bernardino (PHL/UK), Kuan-Yu Chen (TW/UK), Aki Pao-Chen Chiu (TW/UK), Fatima Mazmouz (MR), Gouri Mounir (AL/FR), Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen (PHL/DH), Aïcha El Beloui (MR), Vanessa Scully (PHL/UK), Yu-Chen Wang (TW/UK)

Metropolitan Asia
TERRITORIAL AGENCY: OCEANS IN TRANSFORMATION
Follow on Ocean-Archive.org

Departing from the intersections of architecture, critical spatial practices, art, and activism, this Messy Studio hosted a discussion on Asia’s coastal Anthropocene and the way it shapes the future of urban living. This Messy Studio summit imagines daring contributions to these urgent and “as-yet-unsettled” discussions. Our new-old cities will perhaps be, as Italian philosopher Emanuele Coccia has recently suggested, “multi-species associations halfway between the city, the vegetable garden, the plantation, and the barn, where each living produce works for others and for itself.”

Guests: Rhine Bernardino, artist; Andrés Jaque, architect, Office for Political Innovation; Alvin
Li and Julian Junyuan Feng, curators, “Liquid Ground” exhibition; You Mi, curator and researcher; Irwan Ahmett and Tita Salina, artists.
Participants of the Ocean Fellowship: Alexandra Boghosian; Nchongayi Christantus
Begealawuh; Pietro Consolandi; Elisa Giuliano; Ghost in the Field; Fiona Middleton; Joe Riley;
Pietro Scammacca
Mentors: Louise Carver and Barbara Casavecchia
With: Territorial Agency (John Palmesino and Ann-Sofi Rönnskog); curator Daniela Zyman;
Markus Reymann, director of TBA21–Academy

"Dissecting the Female Body through Art Practice”
Pineapple Lab, Poblacion, Makati City, Philippines

One-day series of workshops exploring femininity and physicality through a variety of art forms and practices.

Led by JOYEN, Rhine Bernardino, and Ea Torrado, these artists look to encourage engagement with unique art forms and stimulate an interest in the power of the female body. Through genres as diverse as dance, movement, and even rope bondage, these workshops will help participants discover and articulate their understanding of the feminine facets of their bodies.

In addition to the workshop proper, attendees are invited to join in conversations with the artists about the workshop, the art practices featured, and their curiosities about the ways we relate to the female body.

The Rural Assembly: Contemporary Art Spaces of Connection,
Whitechapel Gallery, 2019, London, UK

The Rural Assembly draws on a series of public programmes and research that developed throughout 2018. It looks at contemporary artists and creative practitioners who are challenging the assumptions made about rural life and culture, providing a new vision of the countryside grounded in everyday experience and a critique of the rural-urban binary. Connecting the local to the global, this conference invites an international and transdisciplinary conversation on art and the rural, with a focus on profiling projects from across the world.

The Rural Assembly also forms part of the East Contemporary Visual Arts Network’s project New Geographies, chaired and coordinated by Wysing Arts Centre and supported by an Ambition for Excellence grant from Arts Council England. The programme has also been supported by the Jonathan Ruffer Curatorial Research Grant from the Art Fund, and made possible through the contributions of partners: University of Aberystwyth, Istanbul Biennial, Manchester Metropolitan University and Wysing Arts Centre. Further support has been provided by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London, and SAHA for Fulya Erdemci’s and Pelin Tan’s participation.
