Topic
Conference: The Art of the Borderland Across South and Southeast Asia
Description
“The Art of the Borderland across South and Southeast Asia” is a conference that brings together research that explores the geographical contiguities across South and Southeast Asia through a focus on regional art, visual and public cultures, and media practices. By drawing attention to the inter-Asian borderland through a consideration of the region’s aesthetic practices, the presentations highlight regional narratives of modern and contemporary art that diversify critiques of master narratives of national modernities and our understanding of art worlds as plural. They also show how visual, public, and media cultures of the inter-Asian borderland enact imaginaries of space and place that transgress and challenge the region’s regard as territorially bounded and fixed. Further, they discuss what material practices in the borderlands of South and Southeast Asia reveal about the modern and contemporary visual culture of the state. In doing so, “The Art of the Borderland” challenges the region’s dominant image as an aberrant site of exceptionality, strengthening its regard as the ground from which to study and theorize Asia’s pasts and present.

As a doctoral candidate in Anthropology at Yale University currently in the field, Tan studies death and dying in Singapore and works with the funeral profession. She also writes about dance and social forms of art. Her work has appeared in Guernica, City and Society Journal, and the edited volume Resistant Hybridities: Tibetan Narratives in Exile (2020). Tan is currently a section editor for the Society for Cultural Anthropology’s Visual and New Media Review. Nurfadzilah Yahaya (Assistant Professor @National University of Singapore) Nurfadzilah Yahaya is a historian at the National University of Singapore. Her book Fluid Jurisdictions: Colonial Law and Arabs in Southeast Asia published by Cornell University Press in 2020 touches upon the Indian Ocean, Islamic law, and mobilities. She is currently writing a book on the history of land reclamation in the British Empire. She has published in Law and History Review and other journals. She is also a co-editor of the Asia section of History Compass and serves on the editorial boards of Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, Journal of Global History and Journal of Indian Ocean World Studies. Akshaya Tankha (Postdoctoral Associate & Lecturer @Yale University) Akshaya Tankha is an art historian of modern and contemporary South Asia. Tankha’s current book project, tentatively titled, An Aesthetics of Endurance and Emergence: art, visual culture, and Indigenous presence in Nagaland, India, explores the boundary work that objects and their makers perform across ritual and secular domains of practice, the contestations this process engenders and what that tells us about the significance of art and the political significance of the aesthetic in the Indigenously-inhabited postcolonial South Asia. Mimi Yiengpruksawan (Professor in the History of Art @Yale University) Mimi Yiengpruksawan completed graduate work at UCLA with a Ph.D. in Japanese art studies awarded in 1988. Yiengpruksawan joined the Department of the History of Art at Yale University in 1990 and was awarded tenure in 1998. Yiengpruksawan’s academic interests focus on aspects of Buddhist visual and material culture from antiquity through the early modern period, primarily in the Japanese context, but also encompassing more global developments across the continental Buddhist ecumene to which successive cultures in the Japanese archipelago belonged. She takes her cue from the Heian-period statesman Fujiwara no Michinaga, who on presenting his bona fides in 1007, described Japan as a country on the Buddhist continent of Jambudvīpa, that’s to say, as part of a greater Buddhist cosmopolis. Dr. Poornima Paidipaty (Lecturer in Comparative Political Economy @King's College London) Poornima Paidipaty is a Lecturer in Comparative Political Economy at King’s College, London. She received a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Columbia University and her work examines the intersections of decolonisation, governance and modern social science. Chanon Kenji Praepipatmongkol (Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art @McGill University) Chanon Kenji Praepipatmongkol will be joining McGill University as Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art in Fall 2022. Previously, he was Curator at Singapore Art Museum and Visiting Lecturer at National University of Singapore. He writes on modern and contemporary art, with emphasis on conditions of artistic production and reception for the global majority. Such conditions include the precedence of religious forces in modernity, chronic “illiberalism” and “underdevelopment,” and non-temperate climactic ecologies. His essay “David Medalla: Dreams of Sculpture” (2020) was awarded the Oxford Art Journal Prize for Early Career Researchers. He holds a PhD in History of Art from the University of Michigan. Yusra Zulkifli (Lecturer, School of Architecture and the Built Environment @UCSI University) Yusra Zulkifli has been fascinated with traditional arts and crafts. She graduated from the Architectural Association School of Architecture with her final year thesis on a new reading of ornamentation for the 21st century. After being involved in both practice and teaching in academia concurrently for more than ten years, she is now a dedicated lecturer at the School of Architecture and Built Environment (SABE) at UCSI University. She is currently undertaking Masters in Arts at University Malaya with her thesis subject on Bajau pandanus mats. In addition, she enjoys teaching history and theories, and her design studio focuses on the arts and crafts movement. Simon Soon (Senior Lecturer, Visual Arts Program @Universiti Malaya) Simon Soon is a senior lecturer in art history with the Visual Studies Program, Faculty of Creative Arts, University Malaya. His research interest spans the 19th- and 20th-century, including the multicultural histories of photographic studios in Singapore and Malaysia. Besides teaching, he occasionally creates artworks, and curates exhibitions. He is a team member of Malaysia Design Archive. In his spare time, he creates GIS maps, photographs roadside shrines, and visits tiny temples. Aparajita Majumdar (PhD Student, History @Cornell University) Aparajita Majumdar is a fifth year graduate student at the History Department in Cornell University. Her dissertation titled, "A Tale of Two Bridges: Ecologies of Repair and Recalcitrance in the Borderlands of Northeast India", studies the histories of violent resource extraction and the endurance of plant-based recovery in the shaping of Northeast India's borderworlds. Her research uses archival and ethnographic methods and is supported by the SSRC IDRF.
