Are you an Artistic Director looking to deepen your connections, and embark on creative exchange across the Asia-Pacific?

Are you a presenter, programmer or independent curator seeking to create collaborative relationships with artists and colleagues from the Asia-Pacific diaspora?


Exchange is a three-day specialist program for the sector, presented during Asia TOPA.

Participants will engage in three days of curated talks, special events and a range of networking opportunities. Asia TOPA Exchange participants can also access discounted accommodation and tickets to selected performances to support their visit to the triennial. Running 28 February – 2 March 2025, the Exchange program will bring together professionals and networks from across the region, sparking collaboration, dialogue and creative exchange.

Exchange applicants are encouraged to submit an expression of interest for an invitation through the link below. Outcomes will be shared weekly from mid-January.

The awards celebrate cultural exchanges, diasporic engagement and collaborative partnerships with overseas counterparts. Exchange applicants are encouraged to apply for an invitation to the Awards through the link below.
