Overview

If you live in Brisbane, you've heard all about the city's connections with Asia; we are the home of the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, the Asia Pacific Screen Awards, and the new Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival, after all. Since 2013, the BrisAsia Festival has also been on that list, paying homage to the culture of our neighbours.

As always, this year's program features another mix of traditional and contemporary Asian arts, channelled into events across Brisbane. It all kicks off with tours — of food around Sunnybank, and of art at GOMA — but the fun really is just beginning.

Where do we start? Watch the films of a Hong Kong songstress, attend an Asian pop culture concert or learn the art of tai chi. Or, celebrate the lunar new year in Chinatown, make your own lanterns, listen to traditional Japanese instruments or discover the secrets to your favourite international cuisines.
