Visualizing Histories is an attempt to address the ever-changing landscape of historiography and memorialization. It seeks to explore art production in contemporary art as a vehicle to communicate difficult and unresolved narratives from the past and make sense of it in the current time.

Posed with the question, how does regional contemporary art aid in newer forms of historiography and remembering, the 3 Cambodian artists who were born after the Khmer Rouge (Choulay Mech, Kanha Hul, and Song Seakleng) and the 3 Filipino artists who were born after the Martial Law dictatorship and EDSA Revolution (Jo Tanierla , Eunice Sanchez , and Jel Suarez) together with Load Na Dito and SaSa Art Projects, have shared a space to converse about their backgrounds, their histories, and their own understanding of truths.
