Event Details
The exhibition 'Tropical: Stories from Southeast Asia and Latin America' explores a diverse collection of 200 artworks created by over 70 artists on both sides of the globe and compares the impact of colonialism on the arts in these regions, literally worlds apart.

We will see 20th century paintings by famous Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, works by Brazilian artist Candido Portinari and Indonesian artist Affandi as well as creations by Filipino artist Victorio Edades, to name a few.
