《南行覓跡 : M+藏品中的東南亞》是西九文化區 M+展亭 (M+, West Kowloon Cultural District) 第一次以特定地理區域為主題的展覽,以跨領域的方式,探索東南亞的歷史與文化。展覽展出70件作品,由28位來自九個東南亞國家,以及香港、荷蘭和美國等的現代藝術家、設計師和建築師創作,呈現由不同國家和領域的人對東南亞的陳述。雖然藝術家運用不同藝術表達方法,包括視覺藝術、流動影像、設計與建築等,但作品都和東南亞的生活式式相關。他們透過藝術和設計,回應對所身處國家的特殊情況和問題,例如氣候、歷史、政權和全球化的影響等。
展覽的跨領域和跨國界藝術館藏,能向大眾展現不同東南亞國家的異同,凸顯東南亞是一個含有多元文化的區域,從而打破大眾對東南亞區只有一個單一故事的狹隘想法。
