Kakilang

Kakilang (formerly Chinese Arts Now) produces and presents world-class art, and pioneers multi-disciplinary artforms from a wide spectrum of Southeast and East Asian voices.

Our Kakilang are people who come together through art, and who champion diverse voices and communities. We bring people together through art.

• We build art that demands Equality.
• We create with artists at the core.
• We generate a space where art forms intersect, inspire, play with and talk to each other.
• We raise awareness, and seek ways to address larger global issues, by engaging people through the arts.
