All a Part - 10th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT10) Professional Engagement Forums
23 March - 6 April 2022
QAGOMA and Asialink Arts have partnered to host All a Part: APT10 Professional Engagement Forums, a free series of 3 short online professional engagement
forums in conjunction with The 10th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art.
Over three consecutive weeks from 23 March - 6 April,
20 speakers from 15 countries
and curators from the APT10 will discuss key conceptual frames that have emerged in APT10 and offer insights into the changing conditions and practices of artists in Australia and the Asia-Pacific. Three
inter-connected themes centred on the contested natures and narratives of
visibility and invisibility,
communities and
futures will be explored through presentations, panel discussions and screenings with time and space provided for discussion and networking.
Admission is free. Registration is required.
Forum 1: Visibility/Invisibility
This session explores why certain stories shared and privileged over others -what is seen, what is erased, and who decides what is made visible. Artists
and cultural workers challenging these imbalances address the power structures at work and the creative ways in which they seek to bring seldom seen stories and art practices into focus.
Presenters:
Vincente Diaz,
Som Supaparinya
Plus Panel Discussion moderated by APT curators & Break Out Rooms
Date: Wednesday, 23 March 2022
Time: 3:00-5:00pm AEDT
Forum 2: Communities
Communities and collaboration are intrinsic to art making in the Asia Pacific. Whether out of necessity, cultural practice or ingenuity, these include
collective and socially engaged practices, observance of cultural protocols, and challenges to the infrastructure of cultural institutions and spaces of learning. This session presents a range of models for community engagement, emerging modes of collaboration,
assembly and exchange, and opportunities for change in current institutional models.
Presenters: Tita
Salina & Irwan Ahmett, Ruha Fifita
Plus Panel Discussion moderated by APT curators & Break Out Rooms
Date: Wednesday, 30 March 2022
Time: 3:00-5:00pm AEDT
Forum 3: Futures
The question of what the future holds and who might participate in shaping it is a significant thread in the work platformed in APT10. With a critical
eye to prevailing discourses of modernity, contemporaneity and futurity, as well as the aesthetics they underpin, this session considers the survival of species and cultures, and potential roles for indigenous and other marginalised histories, narratives and
practices in informing imaginings of the future as a space of possibility.
Presenters: Fangas Nayaw,
Subash Thebe Limbu
Plus Panel Discussion moderated by Tessa Guazon & Break Out Rooms
Date: Wednesday, 6th April 2022
Time: 3:00-5:00pm AEDT
Singapore Arts Now for the Tasmanian Creative Industries
Asialink Arts
has officially launched a new market development program supported by the
Tasmanian Government and produced in partnership with
Arts Tasmania. Over a two-year evolving program Singapore Arts Now is designed to support Tasmanian artists and arts organisations to research or create new work for new markets in Singapore
and potentially South East Asia (SEA).
The program focuses on sharing insights on platforms and audience
engagement, developing connections and supporting partnerships through digital and hybrid modes leading to live and face-to-face showcase and market opportunities in Singapore through an application process.
The two-hour webinar program held on Wednesday 23 February 2022
for Tasmanian individuals and arts organisations was an introduction to the arts in Singapore from the perspectives of key industry leaders;
Audrey Yeo,
Shireen Abdullah,
Khai Hori and
Tay Tong from the National Arts Council Singapore. We were delighted to also welcome
The Hon Elise Archer MP,
Tasmanian Minister for the Arts, His Excellency The Hon William Hodgman,
Australia High Commissioner to Singapore and His Excellency the Hon Kwok Fook Seng,
Singapore High Commissioner to Australia.
Following the webinar, we will be hosting deep dive workshops on
specific artform market characteristics and opportunities. A limited number of artists and arts organisations will be selected who have a plan and deep interest in engaging with Singaporean and SEA artists, organisations and markets.
Expressions of interests will be sought soon from Tasmanian practitioners
and organisations to participate in the next stage. Stay tuned.
