Curated by Art:Tech & Hersoid · RXPKL, Kuala Lumpur · 2026
An international immersive group exhibition connecting Southeast Asian and global artists through the Solana blockchain ecosystem — framing blockchain not as financial speculation, but as shared cultural infrastructure.
Meshahara takes its name from the Arabic root meshahara — to make public, to witness, to be seen. The title frames the exhibition's central concern: what does it mean to be visible, to circulate work, to assert authorship, in an era of shared digital infrastructure?
The exhibition brings together artists from Southeast Asia and the wider world, connected through the Solana blockchain ecosystem. Blockchain is presented here not as financial technology or market spectacle, but as cultural infrastructure — a decentralised commons where artists can circulate work, maintain authorship, and collaborate across borders without surrendering their identity to any single institution or platform.
Many Roots, One Ledger asks how difference can be preserved within shared systems. The tree with many roots is a recurring image in the project — a metaphor for how distinct cultural identities, local histories, and aesthetic languages can coexist within a single, shared infrastructure without being flattened or erased.
At a time of rising nationalism, cultural isolation, and online hostility, the project positions art as a space for coexistence. Visitors don't scroll past the works — they inhabit them, entering a communal audiovisual environment where presence, not transaction, is the point.
REX KL is situated in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. The old cinema was restored as an arts and community hub in 2019. The main arena has capacity for cinema-sized projections with digital sound, giving visitors an almost 360° immersive experience. It provides a unique opportunity for artists to show work at a scale rarely available in curated group exhibitions.
Selected works will be presented as large-scale projection across the main arena. The space supports full-wall and floor projection up to cinema scale. No spatial sound is used — the exhibition relies on projection, visual density, and physical presence.
