 \nAsia NOW is a curated art fair that amplifies the artistic voices of Asi
 a and its diaspora.\n\nAttuned to the dynamic shifts shaping contemporary 
 art\, it champions the emergence of new cultural centers that are defining
  today’s art landscape. More than a geography\, we see Asia as a methodo
 logy\, a movement\, with a multi-centric approach that celebrates global A
 sias for their communal spirit and collective practices. By fostering crit
 ical engagement\, the fair becomes a space of encounter and exchange takin
 g the spirit of a festival. \n\nSince 2015\, ASIA NOW has shed light on t
 he multiplicity of contemporary Asian art scenes\, unveiling a constantly 
 evolving cartography of practices\, narratives\, and critical voices. The 
 fair is an unique place to discover each year's selection of galleries\, a
 rtists and major players\, historical or emergent\, from different scenes 
 of the global south.\n\nGalleries\n\nFor its 11th edition\, Asia NOW will 
 welcome 70 galleries presenting solo or duo exhibitions by artists from 28
  territories across Asia\, from Central Asia to the Asia-Pacific region\, 
 including West\, South\, Southeast and East Asia.  Returning galleries in
 clude Esther Schipper (Berlin\, Paris\, New York City\, Seoul)\, Sabrina A

 ectives from West Asia (Saudi Arabia\, Dubaï\, Bahrain\, Lebanon\, Turkey
 ) and South Asia (India\, Bangladesh\, Sri Lanka\, Pakistan\, Nepal) \n\n
 This year\, Asia NOW places West Asia and South Asia at the heart of its p
 rogramming\, highlighting artists\, galleries\, and curators from across t
 hese regions.\n\nMy east is your West\n\nAs the guiding mission of Asia NO
 W\, My East is Your West\, challenges political and cultural divisions\, r
 eminding us that our perspectives are shaped by where we stand. It calls o
 n us to embrace complexity\, encourage dialogue across regions\, and highl
 ight the shared histories and creative ties that bind seemingly distant wo
 rlds.\n\nCuratorial Theme\n\nUnder the evocative title "Grow"\, this year
 ’s Curatorial theme invites audiences to witness how perceptions take ro
 ot and transform our understanding of the world. This year’s theme encou
 rages us to move beyond the boundaries that have long defined East and Wes
 t\, and to consider how geography\, culture\, and history nurture the ways
  we see ourselves and others. The fair resonates with Leela Gandhi’s re
 search on “affective communities\,” revealing the subtle collaboration
 s and shared stories that allow new forms of connection and understanding 
 to emerge.\n\nAlongside the gallery presentations\, Asia NOW has built a s
 trong public program shaped by invited curators and international institut
 ions. Encompassing performances\, talks\, and special projects\, the progr
 am brings together diverse voices and practices that reflect the richness 
 and dynamism of the regions represented. \n\n	 \n
