With organising a key aspect of her practice, Eelyn has convened a range of dialogue projects including the Social Art Summit 2018 – an artist-led review of socially engaged arts practice, and the ESEA Artists’ Futures Town Hall 2023 – a place to imagine new landscapes for East and Southeast Asian artists in the UK and beyond. Her ongoing body of work, Performing Identities is a collective reimagining of ESEA identities through the creation of new mythical characters and their cosmologies.
