Artists are the creative heartbeat of the global art ecosystem but are usually part of a more unstable informal economy. With varying degrees of governmental support and an art market decimated by shutdowns and adverse sentiments, the patterns, focus and intensity of their work have been significantly altered. Our panel of artists will reflect upon the adaptations they have made to individual practices, and their thoughts on a more sustainable future for practitioners.

Panellists: Ruben Pang Soe Yu Nwe Yee I-Lann

Moderated by Ian Tee, Associate Editor, Art & Market
