SPECTROSYNTHESIS II Exposure of Tolerance: LGBT+ in Southeast Asia


 
All of us at Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 are proud to support and celebrate the opening of the largest-ever exhibit of regional contemporary art that explores lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer creative history in Southeast Asia and beyond! The exhibit will open on 23 November 2019 at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) and is the second stop of Sunpride Foundation’s touring exhibition.

SPECTROSYNTHESIS II: Exposure of Tolerance: LGBT+ in Southeast Asia is a huge collaboration featuring artists from across Southeast Asia and beyond and will feature spectacular works created by over 50 artists-- including new works that have never been shown before! (This is after the huge success of the acclaimed SPECTROSYNTHESIS: Asian LGBTQ Issues and Art Now, which was presented in Taiwan in 2017.)

The exhibit has been carefully curated by the BACC’s curatorial team, led by Mr. Chatvichai Promadhattavedi, who is the founding member of the BACC, and sponsored and co-organized by Patrick Sun and the Sunpride Foundation.

Patrick Sun is a Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 Advisor, as well as being a leader of LGBT+ Art in Asia. Hong Kong is well-known as a city of diverse cultures, hence events like the world-renowned Art Basel Hong Kong show and market, which attracts an overall attendance of 80,000 people to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) each year. The Gay Games are more than “just” another sporting event after all… there are many many cultural and artistic and even musical aspects to explore! Everything from martial arts displays to artist exhibits to choral concerts and of course delicious local food to taste and enjoy. Art and Culture is one of the key pillars of the Gay Games.


Patrick Sun and his team celebrating the announcement of their upcoming exhibit at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. Well done! Congrats from all of us!

On 27 March 2019, The #GGHK2022 Team joined Patrick Sun and his team for a celebration reception (which coincided with Art Central and Art Basel in Hong Kong) as he announced his upcoming Bangkok exhibit, Asia's largest exhibition of LGBT+ art. The SPECTROSYNTHESIS II reception was spectacular, full of vibrant colors and energetic vibes. Exactly why Patrick Sun was selected to be Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 Advisor.


Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 will showcase everything that the Hong Kong’s diverse and multifaceted culture has to offer and benefits everyone, both local and worldwide.  For people who have never been to Asia it will be a chance to experience the kindness, the culture, the food and the different ways of life of this part of the world.  We look forward to welcoming all of you!
