In this event, participants discussed how the new media environment is influencing Asia’s empires and regions, while addressing the complex relationships within East Asia and the legacy of Orientalism in Europe. The program raised critical questions about the intersection between regional specificities and the universality of art, the boundaries of Orientalist perspectives, the rise of conservative nationalism, and how wisdom can be mobilized in resistance to state-driven ideologies.
