About the event
Building on Tehching Hsieh’s philosophy of transforming the banality of life and the passage of time into art, Everyday Practices explores how artists have appropriated quotidian routines and lived experiences into expressions of resilience and endurance. Their works highlight ongoing conflicts, humanitarian crises, and power imbalances, where repeated gestures become small acts of resistance. Art thus offers a means of making sense and coping in the face of adversity.
Featuring artworks from SAM’s collection, the exhibition showcases a diverse group of artists across generations and geographies in Asia, affirming that the collective strength found in individual actions transcends cultural practices and conditions, posing the universal question: “In the face of life’s challenges, how do we go on going on?”
