Asialink Arts is central to Australia-Asia contemporary cultural engagement. Asialink Arts instigates collaborative and flexible partnerships, develops projects that produce new artistic works and deliver national and international outcomes for the Australian cultural sector. Fuelled by experimentation and driven by networks, we aim to be central to Australia-Asia creative engagement.
The purpose of our programs are to:
- Create, test and refine models of artistic collaboration that cross cultural and geographic boundaries.
- Reflect global contemporary creative practice
- Incubate and deliver large-scale commissions in the region
- Maintain and grow global partnerships and platforms
- Ensure complementary outreach and opportunities exist for national and international artists and art professionals
Asialink Arts is a key program of Asialink - a national organisation headquartered at The University of Melbourne and was established in 1991 to enable access, conversations and exchange to new international networks and cultural exchange for the Australian and Asian creative communities.
Asialink produces a suite of innovative projects that are reflective of the enduring relationships of Asialink Arts and our global arts Alumni. Asialink projects reflect the globalised nature of contemporary creative practice, across art form and geographic boundaries, while promoting sustained cross-cultural dialogue.
For 2019 the opportunities offered are Exchanges and project-based Targeted Exchanges co-curated by Asialink Arts and the Asian-based Global Collaborator.
