The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) is QAGOMA's flagship exhibition focused on the work of Asia, the Pacific and Australia. This eighth edition (APT8) emphasised the role of performance in recent art, with live actions, video, kinetic art, figurative painting and sculpture exploring the use of the human form to express cultural, social and political ideas, and the central role of artists in articulating experiences specific to their localities. APT8 included more than 80 artists and groups, and an ongoing program of artist performances and projects.
