The Plantation Plot assembles the work of twenty-seven artists and collectives who emerged in the wake of the proliferation of the plantation. Drawing from Jamaican critic Sylvia Wynter, the exhibition refigures the plantation plot in its co-constituting meaning of story and place, grounding the exhibition in the context of Southeast Asia but addressing a global condition. Attending to the affective modes birthed, damaged, and arbitrated by plantations and their (non-) logics, The Plantation Plot is retrospective, anticipating a future yet to arrive.
