Asian Art Research Now is an annual postgraduate symposium organised by Australasian Network for Asian Art (AN4AA).
‘The objective of the day-long symposium is to highlight and share the vitality and diversity of Asian art research being undertaken by current and recent postgraduate students and to foster supportive critique, feedback and conversations across institutions, as well as across the diverse geographies and temporalities of Asian art research.
‘The symposium serves as a platform for connecting with other scholars and emerging academics across Australia and New Zealand and for sharing research in progress among Asian art researchers from various backgrounds, including from MA (coursework or research) students to doctoral candidates, across the disciplines of art history, creative practice, arts management, museums and curatorship, and heritage studies.’
