In Private Patronage in Modern & Contemporary Southeast Asian Art Ecologies & Art Histories, 20th–21st Centuries, to investigate and open up debate on the historical import of private patronage in modern and contemporary Southeast Asian art, we ask : who are some of these patrons ; what motivates them ; what have they done and how so ? How has their philanthropy impacted modern and contemporary Southeast Asian art and its prominence at the national, regional and international levels ? How have their priorities and activities evolved over time from the 20th to the 21st century, and what of their role in the future ? Lastly, how might a shift in focus to their roles in the history of Southeast Asian art revise the ways in which we write nascent critical histories of art in the region ?

The roundtable Sharing Post-coup Experiences aims at shedding light on post-coup Burmese society from three different angles : the designation of otherness inherited of successive nationalist discourses ; the perspective of women, actresses who are playing a central role in the opposition to the junta ; and finally, the artistic resistance scene, which not only expresses the voices of contestation but also contributes to envisioning political alternatives.

At the 40th and 41st ASEAN Summits in Phnom Penh in November 2022, the ASEAN leaders agreed in principle to admit Timor-Leste to be the 11th member of ASEAN. Although no date was given yet for the membership, the 2022 decision constituted by far the most significant move since 2011, when Timor-Leste landed its application to the regional organisation.

In turn, the influx is a burden for the latter. Adding again to the complexity of the situation in (...)
