To celebrate its twentieth birthday, on 4 November Sydney’s 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art will stage a major symposium event Twenty Years at the University of Sydney with support from the Power Institute, the Asian Australian Studies Research Network and the China Studies Centre.

Twenty Years brings together those who have played a role in the development of 4A as a leader in Asian contemporary art in Australia since 1996. Discussion on the past, present and future work of 4A will be led by artists, curators and academics. A keynote presentation by Sara Raza, Guggenheim UBS Map Curator, Middle East and North Africa, will be followed by an in-conversation between Raza and Edmund Capon, OBE AM, Chair of 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.

Speakers confirmed for the symposium include: Abdul Abdullah, Dr Ien Ang, Alex Bowen, Prof. Mark Ledbury (Director of the Power Institute), Lindy Lee, Owen Leong, Dr Jacqueline Lo, Aaron Seeto, Dr Mikala Tai (Director of 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art), Dr Stephen Whiteman, and John Young.
