Behind the scenes of Ashmolean NOW with Pio Abad
In this video, artist Pio Abad (b.1983) talks to Lena Fritsch, the Ashmolean Museum's curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, about his Ashmolean NOW exhibition titled 'To Those Sitting in Darkness', which features new drawings and objects. Deeply informed by the history of the world and particularly the Philippines, where Abad was born and raised, his works draw out transnational lines between historical incidents and people, and our lives today.
