The Asian Art Museum is proud to host the thirteenth ACSAA symposium featuring scholars delivering papers on current topics in South and Southeast Asian Art. The symposium will be enriched by the museum's special exhibition, Princes, Palaces, and Passion: The Art of India’s Mewar Kingdom on view from February 2 through April 29, 2007, as well as the museum's renowned permanent collection galleries of South and Southeast Asian art.
The American Council for Southern Asian Art (ACSAA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the study and awareness of the art of South and Southeast Asia. In addition to periodic symposia, usually held every two years, ACSAA pursues these goals through various projects, including its bi-annual newsletter, bibliographies, a color slide project, a microfiche archive and outreach materials. Since its incorporation in 1967, ACSAA has grown from its original fifteen members to an organization of some three hundred individuals and institutions. ACSAA is formally affiliated with the College Art Association (CAA) and the Association of Asian Studies (AAS).
While the majority of members have been interested in the past traditions of South and Southeast Asian art, increasingly the contemporary arts of these regions are recognized as significant. Members have largely been art historians, museum professionals and collectors, but in recent years those with interests in literature, religious studies and anthropology have also joined. These shifts reflect very exciting developments in the ways in which we understand art and its ability to define the cultures to which it belongs.
All attendees to the symposium must be current members of ACSAA.
