Some trees grow straight up into the heavens. Their deep roots draw up memories of how everything came to be, the essence of everything, and its finality. Their branches are laden with heavy fruit. Myths, our stories, and conceptions of the future. ‘Under the Talking Tree’ is a curated group exhibition presenting 12 contemporary Asian diasporic artists. The exhibition is about narrative. The story of us as humans. Our many differences and many similarities. It’s about mythology, more precisely about stories from Asian mythologies.
