Organised by ArtsEquator, the two-day gathering of over 20 arts journalists, critics, editors and members of the media and cultural industries from ten Asian countries served as a platform to build international ties and understand the varying terrain of the arts media landscape across Asia. We documented the entire event in writing and photographs, and in the process gained new insight on what it means to practice art writing in Asia, and the various opportunities and challenges it presents.
