Jitish Kallat (Visual artist, India), Alexander Keefe (Curator, India), Tsong-zung Chang (Curator and Gallery Owner, Hong Kong), Diana Freundl (India Xianzai curator, Shanghai) Moderated by Defne Ayas ( Director of Arthub Asia, Shanghai)
Over the last several years, both China and India have been bursting with influence, producing rising artists, prolific collectors and new galleries and museums. In this panel discussion, distinguished speakers discuss art, artistic strategies and criticality in the changing economic and political climates across
Asia as well as countries’ historical relationship. The emphasis will be on post-traditional conditions in respective contexts, in order to locate a new kind of vocabulary for an expanding discourse within Asia. The session is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai (MoCA Shanghai), and co-organized by Arthub, a non-profit foundation serving China and rest of Asia.
