This issue is a collaboration between Unseen Art Initiatives and socially engaged art platform, BRACK and is available in both print and digital copies. The digital version contains extended essays by Dr Jay Koh and creative producer Mok Cui Yin.
This issue focuses on an on-going long-term art project, Unseen: Constellations (2014-2016) by artist Alecia Neo, that provides a platform for seven youths living with visual-impairment (VI) to explore self-identity and their dreams.
This special issue coalesces relationships, conversations, debates, and experiences around the two-year long project that is Unseen: Constellations, through personal accounts, including: Justin Lee’s post-conversation circle commentary on sustainability, Qian Wenyi and Megan Miao’s allude to image-making, Jay Koh points out the axes of power in its “participation”, while Seet Yunteng and Mok Cui Yin offer different ways of imaging the production of Unseen:Constellations.
This collaboration is an inaugural editorial endeavour at Brack. Both contributors and Unseen participants reflect to “see” the threads of -- equally via its participants and its potential audiences -- what makes a socially engaged work, and what produces its communities. As Nasri Shah elucidates, the ‘constellation’ is only discernible in retrospect.
