This is made possible by SEA AiR - Studio Residencies for South-East Asian Artists in the EU, a new programme developed by the Nanyang Technological University Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore .Citra Sasmita, 31, from Indonesia, and Vuth Lyno, 39, from Cambodia, are the other two artists offered a three-month residency in an EU country to hone their artistic practice this year.

Iwona Piórko, EU Ambassador to Singapore, said:"2022 marks the 45th anniversary of EU-Asean dialogue relations, and SEA AiR is a fitting start to this milestone year. Artists chosen this year are offered a three-month residency between March and June in Europe. They will be hosted by contemporary art institutions that are partners of SEA AiR.

They will also benefit from expanding their network through NTU CCA Singapore as a base to wider South-East Asia, a region that has been historically under-represented in most artistic residency programmes in Europe.After their residency, the artists will present their works to the Singapore public in a group exhibition curated by NTU CCA Singapore. This will happen towards the end of 2022.
