Asia Forum presents the first digital gathering with a roundtable of leaders in their field, followed by a working group for deeper dialogical engagement with raised propositions.
The first Asia Forum digital gathering on 14 May 2021 presents a roundtable with protagonists that are leaders in their field, art historian and curator, Patrick Flores, anthropologist, Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, and artists, Shilpa Gupta, Ho Tzu Nyen and Lantian Xie, followed by a working group for deeper dialogical engagement with raised propositions. The event will be live-streamed digitally via ArtReview.
The “Asia Forum for the Contemporary Art of Global Asias” is a new platform envisioned for discourse surrounding experimental art practices and research that produce hopeful new worlds beyond the North Atlantic. The Asia Forum in 2021/22 is proudly presented by the Bagri Foundation as digital gatherings this spring and fall, and an inaugural one-day programme at the historic Fondazione Querini Stampalia on 23 April 2022 that will highlight the urgent themes in global circulation. Conceived by Annie Jael Kwan, the Asia Forum works with a council of international curators and researchers, Hammad Nasar, John Tain, and Ming Tiampo, in a sustained dialogue with contributors to navigate the key themes that have arisen in relation to contemporary artistic practices of Global Asias.
