Taiwan Art Space Alliance, Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation, Hyper Wave and Mekong Cultural Hub are calling for applications from art and cultural practitioners from Southeast Asia who are facilitators or organisers of art and cultural events/projects for the Professional Exchange Programme in Taiwan.
