 ever Asia is seen not only as a geography but also as a methodology\, with
  a multi-centric approach that celebrates global Asias for their communal 
 spirit and collective practices.\n\n	 \n\n	Celebrating its tenth annivers
 ary\, Asia NOW presents “Ceremony\,” curated by the international cura
 torial collective Radicants\, founded by Nicolas Bourriaud\, the newly app
 ointed Artistic Director of the Gwangju Biennale. An exhibition blending t
 he sacred and the mundane from culinary rituals to the communal exuberance
  of festivals\, throughout the entire site of Monnaie de Paris.\n\n	 \n\n
 	The commemoration of ancestral wisdom serves to question traditions and p
 ower dynamics. Rituals\, while reinforcing social structures\, also have t
 he potential to transform them.  The 22 artists invited by Radicants expl
 ore the unifying force of community rituals through diverse practices.\n\n
 	 \n\n\n		To celebrate our 10th anniversary\, two major installations hav
 e been specially commissioned!\n\n		 \n\n\n	Britto Arts Trust\, a collect
 ive of artists from Bangladesh that participated in Documenta 15 and at  
 the 2024 Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale\, has been commissioned to pres
 ent a site-specific installation which  invites visitors into an ecologic
 al\, social\, and diasporic space shaped by the Bengali palan and pakghor.
  The palan\, a traditional kitchen garden often tended by women and childr
 en\, supports the pakghor\, a family kitchen that also serves as a communa
 l living room.\n\n	 \n\n	Sumayya Vally\, founder and principal of Counter
 space\, will exhibit "Water in one hand and Fire in the other”. This sit
 e-specific installation\, commissioned by Asia Now\, is curated by Kathy A
 lliou in collaboration with  the MTO Sufi Art and Culture Museum\, which 
 will program a series of daily performances activating the vessel accordin
 g to its Sufi spirit. Bringing together elements of the cycle of life\, wa
 ter\, soil and fire\, it features fired and unfired clay jars as a circula
 r space\, where the temporal and the material merge during Sama ceremonies
 . Through the natural action of time\, climate and human interactions\, th
 e installation dissolves\, transforms and regenerates. \n\n	 \n\n	 \n\n
