Providing a recent history of Southeast Asian art linked to the social and political contexts in which the illustrated work emerged, this groundbreaking book reveals the innovative creative strategies, often covertly encroaching on public space, developed by regional artists to ensure the communication of sometimes provocative, even rebellious, ideas to a general audience.

Surveying work created by Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Cambodian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Singaporean and Filipino artists, the publication’s broad regional spread provides valuable insights for a global audience perhaps unfamiliar with the pioneering utilisation of the street, public locales, and techniques of audience co-opting that have made Southeast Asia, and continue to make it, a region instrumental in facilitating social change through art.

Reviews for Power, Politics and the Street: Contemporary Art in Southeast Asia after 1970

‘[Lenzi’s] search for the socio-historical antecedents, attributes, and arc of the art made in Southeast Asia from the 1970s to the present is rigorous and edifying.’ – Max Crosbie-Jones, E-flux Criticism
