Dhaka Art Summit are looking for academics from Australia to participate in a scholars weekend at the 2020 Dhaka Art Summit (DAS).
After a 2 year process and a successful inaugural DAS scholar’s weekend in 2018, Dhaka Art Summit are expanding the academic focus of Dhaka Art Summit through a grant from the Getty Foundation’s Connecting Art Histories initiative in partnership with Cornell University’s Institute for Comparative Modernities and the Asia Art Archive. Entitled “Modern Art Histories In and Across Africa, South, and Southeast Asia,” this program will support 20 emerging scholars to join a team of leading international faculty to investigate parallel and intersecting developments in the cultural histories of modern South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. There will be distance learning sessions in addition to two in-person convenings in Hong Kong from August 11-22, 2019 and in Dhaka during DAS from Feb 5-16, 2020.

They welcome applications until February 28th from emerging scholars from and with connections to Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia currently enrolled in a graduate program in Art History, Architectural History, or Cultural Studies, or who have finished their graduate training in these fields during the last three years.
In addition to the DAS team, their core team includes Project Leader Dr. Iftikhar Dadi (Cornell University); Dr. Elizabeth Giorgis (Addis Ababa University), Dr. Salah Hassan (Cornell University), Dr. Simon Soon (University of Malaya), Dr. Sanjukta Sunderason (University of Leiden), Dr. Ming Tiampo (Carleton University); Organizers Amara Antilla (Solomon R Guggenheim Museum) and the Asia Art Archive team led by John Tain (Head of Research AAA) with researchers Sneha Ragavan, Chuong-Dai Vo, and Michelle Wong. Additional contributing faculty will be announced closer to the Hong Kong and Dhaka sessions and we are building further partnerships to deepen the impact of this exciting program.
