New Asian Imaginations: (Re)searching the Arts in Southeast Asia

19 - 21 September 2011, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), Singapore

Given the recent rise in the awareness and interest in the arts and creative industries in Southeast Asia, New Asian Imaginations: (Re)searching the Arts in Southeast Asia provides a platform for investigation, dialogue, and exploration of the development of the arts in a rapidly changing Asia. The symposium will highlight new insights emerging from current practice-led research and the practice of the arts in Southeast Asia; contextualising the relationships between different art-forms and their various relationships with its various stakeholders - an increasingly fragmented audience and society. The Symposium provides participants with an opportunity to interact and discourse with leading thinkers and practitioners with an interest in the way cultures are being re-presented in a highly globalised and post-modern era.
