Explore a range of ideas and materials to support teachers and students engaging with APT10.
The tenth chapter of the ‘Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT)’ includes 69 projects by more than 150 emerging and established artists from over 30 countries throughout the Asia Pacific region.
APT10 explores the idea of contemporary art in the literal sense of ‘happening at the same time’ and ‘occurring in the present’. Some artists reflect on the influence of past events and encounters that hold meaning today, while others question what the future might look like and who will have a role in creating it. Collectively, they provide a window onto our dynamic and diverse part of the world.

Shannon Novak’s work manifests as a socially engaged practice that extends beyond traditional exhibition spaces. The work explores experiences of light and dark in the past, present, and future, but ultimately seeks to grow hope for a better world where the LGBTQI+1 community can live without fear.
