Following the 'Docks & Seamen' play session, esea contemporary is excited to host a roundtable discussion led by curator and co-editor, Annie Jael Kwan, with artist filmmaker Clare Chun-yu Liu and Kai Syng Tan (artist, curator, academic, consultant, agitator, change-maker, volunteer and gatecrasher).

With further reference to the publication’s themes, the discussion explores artistic strategy for engaging with notions of diasporic Asian identities, communities and solidarities within the post Brexit, post-pandemic challenges and the precarious cultural landscape of the UK.

Caption

'Asia-Art-Activism: Experiments in Care and Collective Disobedience' is a polyvocal collection of 18 essays by leading academics, artists, curators and researchers who address urgent questions of the complexities of UK Black/Asian race relations and migrations, in parallel with global Black/Asia political entanglements and tensions, reflections on the rise of anti-Asian/migrant sentiment in the UK in relation to the ‘Hostile environment’ and the weaponisation of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Across discursive and creative pieces, writers also explore where Asia is situated within institutional narratives of British art, the nature of transnational solidarity, and how ‘diaspora’ can work as a lens to inform and inflect cultural activities. It also includes artistic contributions from AAA Residency Associates from 2018-2021.
