Event abstract:
New Mandala and the Southeast Asia Institute at ANU are pleased to present this seminar by Professor Adrian Vickers, who is a Visitor in the School of Culture History and Language.
As a historian researching modern Southeast Asian art, the field has presented me with three key problem areas: first, how to track art history as the history of styles deriving from influences; secondly, the history of modernism and its relationship to modernity; thirdly, the question of whether there is art that links Southeast Asia as a region. In addressing these problems, we are faced with a series of missing evidence and disjunctions that is indicative of the newness of the field. Some of these disjunctions are also related to significant historical breaks in the histories of different parts of the region.

The largest Japanese cemetery outside Japan is in a small seaside town in Western Australia, 2,000km (1,250 miles) and a 22-hour drive north of the state capital, Perth. Roughly 900 headstones line a lot on Port Drive in Broome, beside cemeteries for Chinese and other ethnicities.
