How do we navigate collaboration in an open diverse world today? / Bagaimanakah caranya untuk bekerjasama dalam suasana penuh kerencaman dewasa ini?
Time / Masa: 3:15PM - 4:45PM

Collaboration is often the go-to term used in many proposals and projects. However, navigating it is often fraught with unseen and unknown scenarios stemming from cultural, creative and economic differences. How can contemporary producers and curators understand these differences and find ways to work with them? This panel will bring together producers/ curators who have worked cross-culturally to share their experience and strategies, including Tam Nguyen and Tamara Saulwick (Australia) in conversation with June Tan (Malaysia) and Rebecca Kezia (Indonesia).

Kerjasama atau kolaborasi sering menjadi istilah utama yang digunakan dalam banyak kertas kerja dan projek. Namun, pelaksanaannya sering dipenuhi dengan cabaran tersembunyi dan tidak dijangka berpunca daripada perbezaan budaya, kreativiti dan ekonomi. Bagaimanakah penggiat dan kurator kontemporari dapat memahami perbezaan ini serta mencari jalan untuk bekerjasama? Sesi panel ini akan menghimpunkan penggiat dan kurator berpengalaman dalam kerjasama rentas budaya untuk berkongsi pengalaman serta strategi mereka, termasuk Tam Nguyen dan Tamara Saulwick (Australia) dalam perbincangan bersama June Tan (Malaysia) dan Rebecca Kezia (Indonesia).
