Diasporic Asian Art Network (DAAN)
Diasporic Asian Art Network (DAAN) is a newly created network of scholars, artists, curators, arts writers, and graduate students interested in Asian American art and art history.
The purpose of this proposed network is to share ideas and information, both about our own projects and about the work of others in the United States and abroad, toward advancing new research, critical writing, and curatorial efforts involving modern and contemporary Asian American/Asian diasporic art and visual culture.
The "Diasporic Asian Art Network" (DAAN) hopes to encourage a broader transnational and trans-diasporic as well as domestic orientation. Whereas 'Asian American' does refer specifically to the American, read U.S. experience, the network situates within the Asian diaspora, bringing the discussion to a ʻglobalʼ level that includes Asian American art. In our view, the American situation can only be invigorated and enriched by working with other Asian diasporas.

International Network for Diasporic Asian Art Research (INDAAR)
A/P/A Institute at NYU serves as an institutional partner with INDAAR.
Art by artists of Asian descent in countries such as Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States is a significant cultural production, both in historical and contemporary terms. INDAAR offers a context to internationalise research on diasporic Asian art in these countries and others. INDAAR is an international network for researchers interested in comparative and transnational studies of diasporic Asian art. The network facilitates opportunities for initiating transnational dialogues and generating collaborative research projects.
This network is a special project of the Asian Australian Studies Research Network (AASRN) and established in association with the Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project entitled “Being Asian in Australia and the United States”.
INDAAR is also supported by the School of Communications and Arts, Edith Cowan University, Australia.
