ASEF Unplugged – Conversations on the Arts in Asia and Europe

UPDATE related to COVID-19:

The health & safety of our participants & partners are paramount and we are committed to supporting the safe distancing measures implemented by governments in Asia & Europe.

As such, all ASEF Unplugged on-site events have been cancelled. Instead, conversations have gone digital. Virtual editions of ASEF Unplugged can be accessed here and here.

In the meantime, #stayconnected and check out our digital programmes, opportunities and open calls over at our arts website www.culture360.ASEF.org

Before you go, let’s walk through memory lane with ASEF Unplugged’s Year In Review video below:

Since it was first established in 1997, the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) has been facilitating conversations on arts, culture and heritage. Its longstanding dialogue platforms have included large-scale formats (such as Experts’ Meetings, Public Forums and, more recently, ASEF Policy Panels), which have been organised in various cities across the two continents in partnership with arts organisations and ASEM Ministries of Culture. In May 2018, ASEF Unplugged, a new small-format event-series was launched to promote more open conversations in tune with the rapidly changing needs of an increasingly interactive and engaged audience.

Goals

• To consolidate ASEF’s longstanding role in bringing the societies of Asia and Europe together by facilitating conversations among cultural professionals
• To strengthen ASEF’s role as a facilitator of multi-stakeholder dialogue between civil society and government, including at the ASEM Culture Ministers’ Meetings (ASEM CMMs) (SDG 17.7 civil society partnerships)

Below are the ASEF Unplugged editions organised in 2019. You may click on each edition to learn more details and access post-event highlights.
