Macau Days
In this panel renowned artist John Young, acclaimed writer Brian Castro, and award-winning composer/media artist Luke Harrald talk about their collaboration on Macau Days, an exhibition exploring Macau's rich transcultural history as the oldest European settlement in Asia. Young, Castro and Harrald will discuss the stories, ideas and images that inspired their works, such as artists and writers Wenceslau de Moraes (writer/translator, 1854-1929) and Wu Li (poet/priest, 1632-1718), and court artist and Italian Jesuit, Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1766).
OzAsia Festival partners with Open State to present a daylong series of transcultural, transmedia events. Writing China is a literary banquet of sound, text and image from Australia and Greater China – fill your plate and think outside the takeaway box.
