Southeast Asian Arts Forum 2024 – Way of the Valiant : Paving Art Through War

UOB-NAFA Southeast Asian Arts Forum 2024 will mark its 5th anniversary and this year is held in conjunction with ADPRex, on 2 August 2024 in Singapore and online.

In concord with the theme of precarity, the 5th edition of the Southeast Asian Arts Forum will once again evaluate questions surrounding the meaningfulness of practice, the arts, and our communities amidst periods of uncertainty and conflict.

Following years of post-pandemic uncertainties and in the midst of global efforts in constructing the new normal in our everyday lives, we are faced yet again with the overwhelming surges of conflict, violence, and destruction.

Amidst these turbulent times, how we express the pain of loss and the hope for a future without it can be a powerful driving force behind creative output when we collectively begin to heal or work towards healing.

Now in its fifth edition, our hybrid Forum includes livestreamed presentations, performances, and dialogue to inspire an exploration of Southeast Asian arts and its discourses; facilitating an exchange of knowledge from the community to the classroom and vice versa.

Presenters come from Lao PDR, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand , Vietnam and Myanmar.

This event will be held both in person at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, and online.
