This project is a part of Tokyo Geidai AAI Annual 2021.

Currently, universities, museums, art centres, and various other platforms that connect and build ” Arts and Culture in Asia” are emerging in Asian countries. In Asia, where the political and social situation is changing and globalisation is taking hold, what are the new “platforms” that will be required in the future, in the age of with/after pandemics? What can universities do to encourage artists and researchers? We will invite guest panellists to consider new forms of connections (platforms) in “Creative Asia”.

Date: January 14, 2022

Time: 15:00 -  18:00 JST | 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM IST
