DESCRIPTION:May 22 - Oct 18\, 2026\nThe Second World War and the Vietnam Wa
 r cut through Southeast Asia with particular force\, bringing occupation\,
  colonial violence\, proxy conflicts\, and the ruin of vast tracts of land
 . The art that emerged from and in response to those conflicts has never b
 een brought together in a single major exhibition until now. In “After t
 he Monsoon\,” the National Gallery Singapore examines how artists across
  the region used their practices to make sense of famine\, death\, and des
 truction during those terrible years. Kusama Affandi’s wartime watercolo
 rs from Indonesia\, for example\, hang alongside Fernando Amorsolo’s pai
 ntings from the Philippines. A line from the poet Chinua Achebe comes to m
 ind: “Art is man’s constant effort to create for himself a different o
 rder of reality from that which is given to him.”
