Across practices in Asia-Pacific, the exhibition examines acts of maintenance such as erasing, washing, ordering, and archiving as gestures embedded within systems of power and care. These are approached not as neutral, but as processes of selection and transformation tied to governance, modernisation, and spatial control. Across postcolonial contexts in the Asia-Pacific, such gestures take on particular urgency, from the regulation of street economies and the clearing of informal settlements to the disciplining of public space and the shaping of historical narratives.
