This subject combines a study of the Asian arts, cultural and creative sector today with a consideration of the demands of working collaboratively between Australia and Asian countries. The subject examines social, political and cultural backgrounds within the Asia-Pacific region and the ramifications for engagement with cultural organisations and creative practitioners.
