In late August, ArtAsiaPacific attended Tiger Translate Mongolia, a project organized by Tiger Beer (the flagship brand of Singapore-headquartered Asia Pacific Breweries) aimed at promoting emerging artists across Asia, as well as bringing them together with established artists from around the world to work on collaborative projects. Since launching in 2005, multiple editions of Tiger Translate have been held in various countries, including Australia, China, New Zealand, Singapore and Vietnam. This year, Tiger Translate held its second Mongolia edition, and the four-day event brought together six Mongolian artists and three international artists. The project, subtitled “Streets Digital,” focused on creating street-art-inspired collaborative works that embody the culture and history of Ulaanbaatar, as well as envision its future.
