Asia Art Archive invites applications for participation in Art Schools of Asia, an online seminar and conference series that examines the history of institutions of higher learning from the perspective of the region.

Building on AAA’s long-term interest in pedagogy, the project will develop greater awareness of art schools as a site where modern and contemporary art histories of the region have been written, frequently as part of broader projects of infrastructure and institution‐building in colonial and postcolonial contexts. It will review historical examples, such as Kala Bhavana in Santiniketan or the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, as well as more recent institutions, such as the Akademi Seni Rupa Indonesia Bandung and the Basic Design Education Division at the Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts, that have served as important conduits for modernism and contemporary art. By analysing the case studies together, the project will develop a comparative basis for thinking about art pedagogy, moving beyond frequently anecdotal or empirical treatments, to develop a methodological framework for thinking about these histories from the perspective of the complex artistic, social, and political histories across Asia.

With the generous support of the Getty Foundation’s Connecting Art Histories initiative, Asia Art Archive will assemble a transnational community of programme participants, notable scholars, and guest faculty to investigate these questions. Programme participants will receive funding to participate in a monthly online seminar held during the 2021–22 academic year, in which they will discuss relevant texts and share scholarship, participate in workshops with archival sources, and engage with invited speakers and lecturers. Invited speakers include Lily Chumley, Iftikhar Dadi, R. Siva Kumar, Amanda Rath, and Zheng Shengtian; guest faculty include Shukla Sawant, Eileen Legaspi-Ramirez, and Yeewan Koon. Participants will also have the opportunity to co-organise a culminating symposium. Through the collective experience, the programme aims to build a multidisciplinary network of researchers of different generations who can support each other and sustain further scholarly conversations on pedagogy.
