ABOUT

The Australasian Network for Asian Art (an4aa) consists of researchers including academics, curators, and post-graduate students from Australia and New Zealand working in the field of Asian art. Our specialisations and interests are various across geographical and temporal registers. In addition to studies in Asian art, the Network is attentive to histories of cultural interaction among Asian cultures and between Asian and non-Asian cultures.

Our activities currently include: 

  • Talks and symposia related to Asian art

  • Annual professional gathering held in conjunction with the AAANZ annual conference

  • Annual graduate researcher workshop

  • Advocacy for Asian art research and resources

an4aa is an open means for sharing research and fostering a scholarly community. It is also a vehicle for advocacy and a site for mutual critique in a supportive environment. There is no fixed membership structure, and all researchers are supported by their home institutions. Building and maintaining critical mass in this area of research is a primary goal of the Network, to which end, we seek to proactively engage with researchers and research groups across Australasia and internationally. The Network seeks to be inclusive as well as adaptive and responsive in uncertain and at times hostile environments that have been made even more complex by the pandemic. Over 2020-2023 the group is being managed by members from Australian National University and the University of Melbourne with bi-annual discussion with a Consulting Group. From 2023, it is envisioned that colleagues from a new pair of institutions will assume the triennial coordinating duties.
