Asia NOW Paris will return to the Monnaie de Paris from October 20 to 24, 2026, for its twelfth edition. This event aims to explore Asia not just as a geographic region, but as a methodology and a movement, emphasizing the dynamic exchanges and influences that shape contemporary art and culture. The festival provides a space for dialogue and collaboration, highlighting the interconnectedness of global artistic practices. Over 200 artists from Asia and its diaspora will participate, representing a wide range of disciplines and perspectives. These artists will be presented by around 60 galleries, institutions, and private foundations, creating a diverse and rich artistic landscape. The event seeks to foster new narratives about contemporary Asia, drawing from its complex histories, experimental practices, and international dialogues. Through a constellation of galleries, artists, and curatorial projects, Asia NOW Paris continues to challenge traditional notions of value in art. It moves beyond the mere presentation of objects to explore the relationships between beings, territories, materials, memories, and forms of life. This approach reflects a broader interest in understanding the cultural and historical contexts that shape artistic expression. The twelfth edition of Asia NOW Paris promises to be a significant event in the global art calendar. By bringing together artists, curators, and institutions from across Asia and beyond, it reinforces the importance of cross-cultural exchange in the contemporary art world. The festival aims to redefine what holds value in art, emphasizing the intangible and relational aspects that contribute to the richness of human experience.
