The website provides insights into the latest Asian arts and museum scene. Users based in Asia and beyond will find this resource useful as key points highlighted in the lectures and panel discussions will allow them to reflect on actions that can be taken in the future and improvements that can be made. Each edition’s theme is not the same so thematically it has a diverse range. However, as a tool, this website helps address the following SDG targets: 4.7 (education for sustainable development), 10.2 (empowerment and promotion of social, economic and political inclusion of all), 11.7 (museums as safe and inclusive public spaces), 17.6 (enhancement of North-South and international cooperation), and 17.16 (enhancement of global partnership knowledge and expertise sharing and mobilization).
