Postgraduate Workshop: Asian Art Research Now
18 NOVEMBER 2022, 9am-5:00pm | ONLINE event
Asian Art Research Now is the inaugural event of the Australasian Network for Asian Art (an4aa), a collegial group of Australian and New Zealand researchers who have come together to strengthen a sense of scholarly community in this field. In keeping with AN4AA’s objective to highlight the vitality and immediacy of Asian art research being undertaken by emerging scholars, Asian Art Research Now showcases the work of recent PhD graduates and current PhD students from universities across
Australia and abroad. The day-long workshop will foster an atmosphere of supportive critique and generate greater cross-pollination and conversations across institutional boundaries, as well as those of geography and temporality within the field of Asian art history.

Following on from previous meetings among the Asian art research community in Australia and New Zealand, this is AN4AA’s inaugural Annual Professional Gathering. Alongside our annual postgraduate workshop and on the eve of the AAANZ conference, the 2021 Professional Gathering will feature collegial discussions anchored in presentations on current research by Claire Roberts, Hyphenated Projects, and Tarun Nagesh.

The World in 24 Hours aims to provide a platform for researchers to share work that engages in local and international art historical discourse. We welcome panel proposals from art historians and curators at the PhD/ECR (within 5 years post-PhD or equivalent) to contribute to our ambitious attempt to listen to and spotlight work done around the world, about the world, within a 24-hour period.

an4aa Curatorial 6-Pack Series!
SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER 2021
The AN4AA Curatorial 6-Pack, a springtime series of conversations, will run fortnightly at lunchtime on Fridays from mid-September. It will offer opportunities to interact with the curators of exhibitions of Asian art produced by Australasian colleagues during 2021. We hope that these opportunities will serve to ameliorate the impact of the pandemic on the ability of many to visit exhibitions and engage with colleagues. The series will run as 1-hour Zoom Meetings and will include a presentation from the invited curator followed by a discussion moderated by a member of the AN4AA Coordinating Group.
