In June, ASEF launches 2 new calls to support artistic collaborations and the creation of network’s activities respectively: the 3rd Edition of Creative Encounters and the new ASEF Creative Networks. Both calls are open to organisations from the 49 member countries of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). Deadline for submission is 15 August 2013.
Also this month, in the series By People/In Cities, Sali Sasaki interviews Shirley Surya, Assistant Curator (Design & Architecture) at the M+ Museum in Hong Kong, about the ‘culture of design’ and the shaping of culture by design in the 21st century.
ASEF’s Project Manager Valentina Riccardi attended the Memory! Film Heritage Festival in Phnom Penh and took part in the discussions between film archive professionals and organisations involved in film heritage. She sums up the challenges and some of the shared experiences in the Magazine article “the importance of preserving, restoring and promoting film heritage”.
Finally, in anticipation of the Experts’ Meeting “Investing in Heritage Cities: Stimulus for Sustainable Tourism and Livelihoods” organised by ASEF in Yangon, Myanmar on 24-25 June around the theme of sustainable urban conservation, culture360.org has looked back at some of the articles that have been written on heritage cities in Asia.
