Arts & Design Practice Research Exchange
Attending Differently: Practising Research

On the threshold of change for NAFA, the inaugural Arts & Design Practice Research Exchange (ADPRex) invites NAFA’s faculty to come together in an act of collective imagining. As we exchange insights into new ideas uncovered through our arts and design practices, we also take time to envision the future. ADPRex is Southeast Asia’s first annual conference dedicated to practice research. It positions NAFA as the leading centre of arts and design practice research in this region, where artists and thinkers come together to share ideas and insights at the apex of arts and design practice and innovative thinking.
