Space-making in Arts: ESEA Arts Producer Sharing

Curated by Howl Yuan

16th June | 14:30 - 16:00 | Venue: Soft Ground

If we imagine the realm of arts as a landscape, then there are particular types of people putting their effort into making, caring and facilitating space for arts. They might not stand right in the spotlight but they play vital roles that shape the landscape of arts and cultures.

This interactive sharing invites ESEA (East and Southeast Asia) background theatre producer, artspace director and curator to share their insights on space-making, and respond to questions 'Is it important to advocate ESEA arts producers?' and 'How do we navigate our practice through identity politics?' and suggestions for future arts space makers.

Collaborating with podcast Ming Strike, this event will be recorded and later shared with wider audiences.
