For centuries, Asia and Europe have shaped one another through trade, colonisation,\u202fmigration\u202fand imagination. Yet many of the narratives that frame these relations still reflect unequal histories and inherited hierarchies. How can cultural practitioners challenge these frameworks today?<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Cultural narratives have shaped how societies understand themselves and others. Museums, archives, visual arts, performing arts and academic institutions have played a decisive role in constructing these stories \u2014 defining what is preserved, what is displayed, and what is left unseen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Today, questions around colonial collections, restitution, appropriation and representation challenge long-standing structures of authority. Who has the right to interpret history? How are knowledge and cultural memory produced and transmitted\u2014 and who benefits from these frameworks? As art, science and public institutions increasingly intersect, new tensions and responsibilities emerge.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This panel brings together artists and institutional voices to explore how contemporary cultural practice can question representation, rethink collaboration, and reshape histories. <\/span>From revisiting collections and archives to rethinking collaboration and authorship, the discussion asks: how can we shift from inherited hierarchies toward shared forms of storytelling \u2014 and what responsibilities come with the power to narrate?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRepti Suprantinah works across heritage, community-driven storytelling and cultural systems. With over twenty years of experience in the cultural and heritage sector, she has closely witnessed how diaspora narratives are positioned and often marginalised within exhibitions and public programming. Through her organisation d'Narritage \u2014 Narratives and Heritage of Diaspora Communities \u2014 Repti works with artists and organisations to develop and present their stories independently. She supports them in strengthening their plans, accessing funding and building sustainable structures. In parallel, she collaborates with museums and cultural institutions that are willing to critically rethink their internal systems: from staffing and knowledge production to collecting and storytelling practices. Her work is informed by experience across museums, festivals, academic research and funding bodies, including the Mondriaan Fund and Dutch Research Council (NWO), as well as long-standing collaborations with artists and organisations in the Netherlands, Indonesia, the Caribbean and Surinam.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Her recent collaboration with Eisa Jocson (PH) \u2018Magic Maids\u2019 is currently touring internationally.
