Her work is informed by the histories of oppositional and feminist politics in Southeast Asia.
In her exhibition, Minstrel is situating herself as an artist who feels the necessity to address the politics of the place where she lives and as a voter who is trying to understand how democracy in her country works.
Minstrel is in residence at The Cross Art Projects until Monday 5 February. If you would like to meet Minstrel please don't hesitate to contact Jasmin Stephens on Jasm.Step@gmail.com.
