The stars, the moon and the sun have long been used by travellers as navigational tools. Now, online apps such as GoogleMaps automatically detect geographical routes. But what would happen if we were to follow the stars as travelers once did? What would they tell us?

The Winston Oh Travelogue Award is an annual grant that enables selected students from the McNally School of Fine Arts to travel abroad and develop their artistic research and practice. The award supports students in their undergraduate and postgraduate years of art education by offering them the opportunity to immerse themselves in a different environment and culture. This exhibition—a culmination of the students’ research upon return—presents works by the recipients of this year’s Practice and Research awards.

Practice Award recipients and their destinations are Dylan Chan (Japan), Chok Si Xuan (Vietnam), Kimie Kwan (Cambodia), Ng Qi Hui (Indonesia), and Joyce Tan (Bhutan).

Research Award recipients and their destinations are Tristan Lim (South Korea), Nur Liyana Binte Ali (Japan), Muhammad Masuri Bin Mazlan (Japan), Chloe Po (Japan), and Nerissa Tan (Sweden).
