Asia Triennial Manchester 2008

"Set to leave a lasting mark on the city" Metro, 2008

A key part of ATM08 was its broad education, community and events programme which took place across Manchester and Greater Manchester in collaboration with 20 local community based venues and organisations and created opportunities for people to meet and work with the international and local artists to develop their own skills and in some cases becoming part of the artwork that was exhibited. The programme included an innovative Teahouse Discussion Series across the 10 AGMA regions and the high-profile and interactive Cabbage Walk through Manchester City Centre which involved 100 local people and was viewed by an estimated 5,000 people on route.

Asia Triennial Manchester 08 Publication

Edited by Alnoor Mitha, Fareda Khan, Jacques Rangasamy and Pippa Kenyon-Leigh

Asia Triennial Manchester 08 (ATM08) was the UK’s first Asian art triennial and was conceived and initiated by Shisha, the international agency for contemporary South Asian crafts and visual arts.

ATM08 was launched in spring 2008 in partnership with some of the city’s leading galleries and academic institutions and presented an award-nominated inclusive programme of exhibitions, residencies and events which reflected Manchester’s radical political and social history by exploring the theme of ‘protest’ in its widest sense.

A wide variety of newly-commissioned work was produced by artists from across Asia, including mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.

This publication is a testament to the exciting international cross-cultural dialogue which took place between the UK and Asia during ATM08.

Richly illustrated, and an essential guide to the whole triennial, it not only documents its inspiring exhibition series, wide-ranging education and outreach programme and illuminating symposium, it also records The Rusholme Project, ATM08’s spectacular trailblazer which featured two impressive site-specific interventions by world-class artists Rashid Rana and Subodh Gupta.
