Happy Together: Visions of Gladness from Southeast Asia

Whitestone Gallery is pleased to present Happy Together: Visions of Gladness from Southeast Asia, an exhibition that brings the question of happiness to life through the eyes of five contemporary Southeast Asian artists, each offering a vibrant and imaginative take on joy. This captivating exhibition invites audiences to explore how happiness is expressed, shared, and celebrated across cultures. From immersive installation to bold visual expression, it captures the rich emotional landscape of Southeast Asia —where laughter, tradition, and togetherness converge.

Each artwork radiates a sense of joy, offering fresh glimpses into everyday joys and festive moments. Playful and poignant in equal measure, the exhibition is filled with humor, cultural reflection, and imaginative takes on what it means to be together. The featured artists reveal happiness not as a fleeting emotion, but as something intentionally nurtured – shaped by the strength found in unity, even and adversity.

Gathering five contemporary artists: Goldie Poblador, Krit Ngamsom, Kumari Nahappan, Mulyana, and Yuree Kensaku, the artists of Happy Together disclose a unique celebration of the human spirit and invites the audience to smile, reflect, and be reminded of how beautiful it is to be happy together.
