Green Papaya Art Projects, founded in 2000, is the Philippines’ longest-running independent platform for contemporary art. It was preparing for its permanent closure in 2021 when the global pandemic hit in early 2020. A fire razed its space in June of that year, destroying a part of its physical archive, library, technical equipment, and artworks. With the tragedies, enforced quarantine, and severe economic slowdown, valuable help from local and international institutions, and art communities worldwide, poured in for Green Papaya to relocate to a new space and continue its work. Unexpectedly, it found itself included in the list of ArtReview’s Power 100 as one of the most influential art organizations in the world for 2020. Thanks to a cooperation with the Matschinksy-Denninghoff Foundation under the umbrella of Berlinische Galerie, Green Papaya, has been awarded a collective grant as visual arts fellows of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program 2024.

Green Papaya present a site-specific installation as part of the exhibition Transforming.
