Discover the legacy of our 20-year international artist residency programme in central Manchester.
Since 1986, esea contemporary has been a beacon for Asian artists and communities, fostering exchanges and innovation. As we mark the 20th anniversary of our residency programme, we celebrate nearly 100 artists from East and Southeast Asian backgrounds who have embraced our platform.
In October 2024, esea contemporary welcomed visual artist and filmmaker Musquiqui Chihying as the first participating artist for our research project, ‘Voicing the Archive.’
