The Asian Intercultural Conference (AIC) returns to Singapore in November 2026 – bringing together artists, academics, and cultural policy shapers around the theme Staging the Unseen: Bodies, Power, and Belonging.

Through the lens of intercultural and interdisciplinary practices, AIC investigates the performing body: shaped by multiplicity, plurality, fluid identities, and continuous negotiations across cultures, orientations, and histories.

For the first time, AIC 2026 moves into an evening format with three nights of encounters and exchanges from 25 to 27 November, culminating in a full day of events on 28 November.
