Contemporary artist Ahmad Fuad Osman shares his thoughts and long journeys behind his Enrique de Malacca Memorial Project in an online panel session tonight (June 26), which is part of Contacts & Continuities: 500 Years Of Asian-Iberian Encounters, an international arts series.

Fuad’s Enrique de Malacca Memorial Project (EDM) is an ongoing research-based work. It was shown at the Singapore Biennale in 2016, the Sharjah Biennial in 2019 and also at Fuad's mid-career survey show At The End Of The Day Even Art Is Not Important at the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur in late 2019.
