Sydney’s 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art will stage a major symposium, “Twenty Years”, in November 2016, with support from the China Studies Centre and the Power Institute at the University of Sydney as well as the Asian Australian Studies Research Network.
“Twenty Years” brings together those who have played a role in the development of 4A as a leader in Asian contemporary art in Australia since 1996. Discussion of the past, present and future work of 4A will be led by artists, curators and academics. A keynote presentation by Sara Raza, Guggenheim UBS Map Curator, Middle East and North Africa, will be followed by an in-conversation between Raza and Edmund Capon, OBE AM, Chair of 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.
Speakers confirmed for the symposium include: Abdul Abdullah, Dr Ien Ang, Alex Bowen, Prof. Mark Ledbury (Director of the Power Institute), Lindy Lee, Owen Leong, Dr Jacqueline Lo, Aaron Seeto, Dr Mikala Tai (Director of 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art), Dr Stephen Whiteman, and John Young.
Registration for the Twenty Years symposium is free, but a donation is encouraged to enable 4A to continue our activities for the next twenty years (and beyond!).
