Description
Asia is made up of a rich diversity of cultures and traditions, yet beyond national borders lie many commonalities forged by the movement of people, goods and ideas across the Continent.
Asia Society Australia, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, the Art Gallery of NSW and VisAsia Council present an innovative program to showcase interconnectedness of Asia through performance and talk retracing the history and development of the Japanese Koto and Chinese Guqin from their common origin.
Presented to senior business, political, education and cultural audience drawn from the partner organisations' networks and the public. This performance and talk will be the first in a series of events examining various elements of a common Asia centred on Japan, through exploration of culture, religion, literature, art and philosophy.
