Dogma Prize 2021 for Artists
26 February, 2021 - 30 April, 2021
2021 is a special year for the Dogma Prize, marking its move beyond ten years, and thus underlining a long-standing commitment. The theme of Introspection is endemic to self-portraiture, but as 2020 comes to an end, given all the travails of the world, it has a special resonance. Who are we? What are our role, our place, and our responsibility? Deep and hard questions, perhaps with no widely accepted answer, and in turn, perhaps that is because the question is not yet asked with sufficient voice and intensity.
It seems unfair to direct such enquiry at a small group in society – artists. But perhaps it is a role in which art can act as a dominant interlocutor. For the first time in ten years after the founding of the Prize, it expands beyond Vietnam, to include its Indochina neighbours and to recognise ten artists in one unified, equal platform.
For the 2021 edition, the Dogma Prize introduces the concept of “Introspection” – Making self-portraits from visions of one’s mind.
