You are Seen | Women's Contemporary Art Practices in Southeast Asia from the Personal Collection of Krystina Lyon

2026
This January, art historian and collector Krystina Lyon unveils her new publication spotlighting  35 women artists from Southeast Asia, a group whose practices are reshaping the region’s cultural and aesthetic landscape. More than a survey, the book offers a thoughtful meditation on the evolving dynamics of visibility versus recognition—who gets seen, who is supported, and ultimately, who is remembered. Through Lyon’s deeply personal lens as a researcher and collector, the project brings forward diverse voices spanning emerging, mid-career, and established practitioners, illuminating the urgency, experimentation, and intergenerational dialogue coursing through contemporary women’s art today.
