As the new stewards of Gendai, Marsya Maharani and Petrina Ng came in 2020 to build upon the organization’s legacy of decentering whiteness by investing in the future of BIPOC arts leadership. Gendai has two recurring projects: Gendai MA MBA and Gendai CO-OP. Gendai MA MBA (Mastering the Art of Misguided Business Administration) is a think tank and workshop series for art collectives to improve capacity-building skills in a co-learning environment. Addressing sector-wide challenges of precarity and isolation, this project creates a network for collectives to resource-share, co-learn, collaborate, and improve workplace sustainability. Gendai CO-OP is a peer-led accountability program for arts institutions invested in improving racial equity sector-wide.

With research interests expanding from issues of decolonisation, collective values, working conditions, alternative governance, and radical allyship, Petrina and Marsya are informed by their roles and responsibilities as racialised settlers and uninvited guests working and learning on Turtle Island. Gendai’s work also builds upon the labour of many collaborators, dreamers, allies, and activists.
