Curated by our guest curator Krystie Ng, the exhibition showcases 26 sets of modern and contemporary woodcut prints from Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Woodcut in Asia has emerged as a significant instrument in cultural dissemination. At the beginning of the 20th century, woodcuts per se served as an effective medium to mirror social phenomena due to their simple creation process and intense stylistic boldness. Today, woodcut has evolved and developed into different approaches. By creating artwork with the marginalised communities, woodcut printing has become a powerful medium for communication.
