Ryan runs \u2018Homing\u2019, an ongoing data collection project that centres on performative interviews on homes, houses, and feelings of (un)belonging. Having completed most of his practice in Western Australia, Ryan works from the perspective of a young person of colour looking at a space from the outside in \u2013 exploring themes of nostalgia, eagerness, language, memory, and \u2018home\u2019 as an abstract idea rather than a physical location. The artist constantly questions the boundaries between the \u2018home\u2019 and the \u2018foreign\u2019, and how these definitions can often intersect and overlap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ryan has participated in artist residencies in the Red Earth Arts Festival (2022), Cool Change Contemporary (2022), The Blender Studios (Virtual) (2021), and has run art workshops in the WA Museum Boola Bardup (2023), the State Library of Western Australia (2021), and community high schools in Yandeyarra, WA and Karratha, WA (2022). Ryan was the Visual Arts Coordinator for Pigeonhole Perth\u2019s FLOCK Festival (2022) before returning to Malaysia for his second solo exhibition, \u2018Dorm Room Self Portrait\u2019 (2022) at Hin Bus Depot. \u2018Homing\u2019 has been run five times in three countries &#8211; Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Click here to view <a href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Ryan-Naga_CV.pdf\">CV.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-1cu9u4k-db49750426ac8b13cbb4ae33ceec5565 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_three_fifth  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m2j15djm-41324ed31fdaf0c7124e833722cfb8bb\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m2j15djm-41324ed31fdaf0c7124e833722cfb8bb .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m2j15djm-41324ed31fdaf0c7124e833722cfb8bb av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-12  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-23883 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-23883 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-300x300.png\" alt='' title='2 (1)'  height=\"300\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-1030x1030.png 1030w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-1500x1500.png 1500w, https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1-705x705.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-t1941w-6e5f7b2307629b971d6e37dbbeb651a8 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'open sans thin'; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 25px; letter-spacing: 1px;\">Mentor: Rajinder Singh (B.1964)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rajinder Singh is a Malaysian artist-researcher working from his studio in London.
