Erasure held like a fierce lantern
“Kang Seung Lee’s work transforms loss and invisibility into a strategy for recollection. Often beginning with archival research, his drawings, watercolours, embroideries and installations create conversations with overlooked, deceased artists and with sites where communities, including q***r communities, have historically gathered.
Lee has extended his research to Edinburgh, featuring new works based on photographs of significant q***r sites across the city. Erasure held like a fierce lantern layers global and local q***r histories to represent forms of existence that exceed identity politics.”

Who is invited to the city?
”Who is invited to the city? contributes to what might be read as an alternative portrait of Mumbai. A rapidly changing city, the chawls are now being demolished. Patil’s work relates to ongoing inequalities, championing the role of art in giving voice to communities who are often rendered invisible.” - .clegg1, Curator
