Asian Diaspora Dialogues

Asian Diaspora Dialogues (ADD) returns to mark another timely moment in the ever evolving landscape of Aotearoa’s creative sector. Building on the momentum and connections forged in 2022, we're taking a breath and delving a little further to tackle the deeper questions that have emerged from our collective growth and increased visibility. 

For one day, over kai and kōrero, we will present three conversational panels that unlock: Tauiwi & Indigeneity, The New 'Sustainable', and Navigating Beyond the Opportunity. 

Since our first gathering, we've witnessed significant shifts in how Asian creatives are seen and heard in Aotearoa. This packed hui builds on that foundation to spark crucial dialogue about where we go from here – not just as individuals, but as a collective driving meaningful change. 

This event is open to creative practitioners of ALL Asian descent - from Turkey to Japan, Eastern Russia to Indonesia, and across the spectrum of creative practices. 

We warmly welcome your invaluable participation as we continue this vital conversation together. 

This event is brought to you by SquareSums&Co and Therefor, with support from Auckland Live and Creative New Zealand.
