ATM6: Transvaluation
Asia Triennial Manchester

Transvaluation A new curatorial approach for the 6th edition of ATM

Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM) returns in 2025 with a bold new theme: Transvaluation. Developed by an international Curatorial Assembly, this sixth edition explores how we can rethink the idea of value—moving beyond profit, measurement, and norms to imagine more generous, inclusive, and creative ways of seeing the world.

Since its launch in 2008, ATM has brought together artists, audiences, and institutions to celebrate contemporary Asian art and culture, while also reflecting on the complexity of British Asian experience. With a legacy of exhibitions, performances, collaborations and commissions, ATM continues to question, challenge and expand what art can do in the world today.

This year's curators—reframed as convenors to reflect a more collaborative, democratic model—are building a curatorial framework rooted in shared thinking, experimentation, and global dialogue. Inspired by both local context and international urgency, ATM6: Transvaluation opens up new ways of creating, curating and connecting across borders and disciplines.
