Simply Screen aims to show a selection of new video works from international artists that will cover a wide range of ideas, including issues of immigration, industrialisation, globalisation and identity.

The event will interrogate how people in Asia and the Asian diasporas see themselves within the complex presence of contemporary global culture; how artists respond to ideas of contemporary multiculturalism and trans-nationalism related to the context of Asia; how artists visualise the issues of war, memory, conflict, displacement, identity and the sense of belonging.
