This exhibition featured 121 photographs depicting the people of the ASEAN region in childhood, at work, at leisure and practicing their rituals and cultures. Over 60 photographers were represented from Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. EYES on ASEAN was devised by Asialink to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Association of South East Asian Nations in 1992. Primarily aimed at celebrating the people of the region, it was also seen as a way to promote understanding as well as to discover photographic talent throughout South East Asia
This exhibition toured around Australia to Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide and Cairns (1994-1995).
