11:30 - 1PM - ASIAN PROVOCATEURS: WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF ASIAN CREATIVITY - AN OPEN FORUM CONVERSATION LEAD BY SOME OF THE LEADING SOUTH ASIAN CREATIVES IN FASHION, ART, MUSIC.
>> instead of your average panel talk we are going to get the best of the industry in a 'roaming mic' style conversation and really get underneath how we see the future of South Asian Creativity + Queer South Asian Creativity evolving. Stepping away from the obvious trends we see on Instagram and the internet and asking ourselves - What can we REALLY offer the creative arts.
