In 2025, MCH will organise the fourth Meeting Point on Art & Social Action in Asia. The in-person part of the Meeting Point will take place in Vientiane, 16–18 October 2025, and is hosted in collaboration with The XYZ Art Center.
MCH is now calling for practitioners, collectives and organisations from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam to propose hosting interactive sessions during Meeting Point.
An Interactive Session is a hands-on, engaging activity where participants of meeting point actively take part in discussions, workshops, or creative activities. These sessions will last 90 minutes and accommodate 25-30 people. They should encourage people to share their ideas and work together, focusing on the theme ‘Building Bridges – Art and Social Action in Asia.’
With this open call, MCH plans to select 6 session proposals. A total of 3 interactive sessions will be selected from Laos, and 3 interactive sessions from the other eligible countries. The sessions can have formats including but not limited to artistic workshops, action research, group discussions, or training. The goal is to create an experience that involves everyone and sparks meaningful engagement with the practice of art and social action in Asia.
MCH will support travel and accommodation costs to Vientiane for a maximum of two people to host each session. They will also provide an unrestricted micro grant of 300 USD for each session.
