Europe
Located in Denmark, AROS is one of Northern Europe’s largest and most ambitious art institutions. With a strong commitment to contemporary art, ARoS strives to engage audiences with thought provoking exhibitions and pioneering artistic collaborations. The grant will support early research, conceptual development, and planning for Sweden-based Lap-See Lam’s forthcoming exhibition. It will continue her interest in migration, diasporic memory, and ephemeral architecture.
Exploring the intersections between Chinese heritage, African identity and global trade
Support for a community-based process to plan and design a public art masterplan to interpret the significant stories of the historic sites of the Eng Family Homestead (one of the last remaining and most intact single-family homes in the Chinatown-International District in Seattle) and adjacent Canton Alley.
Support for a research and community-building project centered on facilitating relationships between multidisciplinary artists and history bearers (descendants, land stewards, family archivists and institutions). The research project will focus on 3 different themes: personal archives, family associations, the history of railroad construction and mining.
