Following the success of the first CHECK-IN in 2021, we launched the second edition in June 2022. The publication serves as a mid-year review of developments, shifts and trends in the Southeast Asian art scene. Featuring first-hand accounts, dialogues, observations and analyses, it is an inclusive anthology of voices from the region. 

We believe this will facilitate greater understanding and appreciation of the inherent diversity and constant innovation in the art scene to share with the wider global art community.
