The Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM21) is a two week interdisciplinary programme of art, poetry, film, immersive installation and performance will take place at the brand new Manchester Poetry Library at Manchester Metropolitan University – the North West’s first poetry library.
An exhibition of over 200 artworks, sent by over 100 artists from 20 different countries, will showcase the rich histories of Asia and the globe, portrayed through modern and contemporary interpretations including prints, photography, fine art, embroidery and poetry.
The ATM21 theme asks: what does it mean to Love Thy Neighbour? How do people, irrespective of their religious or political beliefs, share common values of care and love?
In response, a moving and compelling array of postcards have circumnavigated the globe and arrived in Manchester. Intimate and immediate, the artist’s postcard is a microcosm, a miniature work of art designed for a specific social purpose – to connect with others. This act of global artistic solidarity has connected disparate and dispersed individuals on a human level through poetry and art.
