Mapping Melbourne 2016

Overview

Independent artists from all across Asia will present their work as part of Multicultural Arts Victoria's Mapping Melbourne. Now in its fourth year, this Asia-focused festival will feature a selection of free performances, music works and visual and live art installations by artists from China, Indonesia, Singapore, India, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia and — of course — Australia.

Mapping Melbourne will run from December 1-17 in various venues around the city. Standout events include Fire Monkey (a collaborative dance work inspired by the Chinese Zodiac), Desivolution (a photography exhibition about Melbourne's Indian diaspora) and Crossing, an exhibition of paintings, sculptures and large-scale installations that explore the visual and social culture of Bali. But you can check out the full program here.
