IGCAT<\/strong> was invited to the\u00a01st\u00a0Asian Network of Cultural Intermediaries Forum<\/strong> in Taiwan, 2-3 November. The invitation came from the Graduate School of Arts Management and Cultural Policy, National Taiwan University of Arts. It was an opportunity for IGCAT’s President<\/strong>, Dr. Diane Dodd<\/a> to\u00a0meet the Deputy Minister for Culture<\/strong> and to present the Regions of Gastronomy<\/strong> project.<\/p>\n The Forum brought together intermediaries from the cultural sector<\/strong> in Taiwan including artists residencies, arts spaces, festival managers, research bodies, university departments and students.<\/p>\n In addition, international representatives joined the meeting from the Japan Foundation; the National Arts Council Singapore; Korea Culture and Tourism Institute and Mihidol University.<\/p>\n A specific meeting took place inside the forum to ask if an Asian Network of Cultural Intermediaries (ANCI) is needed and if participants would like to sign-up to such an initiative. This came from a recognition of the growing prominence of cultural intermediaries in international cultural cooperation. Although the final mission is still to be established, the participants agreed the need to empower the arts and cultural sector across Asia<\/strong> by moving the conversation forward in areas of concern including:<\/p>\n \u00a0… and others…<\/p>\n Questions of membership and organisation will still need to be discussed further but the network was looking for endorsement from all the international partners present. IGCAT’s Board<\/a> will now be consulted on their interest to endorse such a partnership.<\/p>\n The initiative was received positively by those present as a \u00ab\u00a0possibility to unlock the potential of cultural and expert exchange.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n About IGCAT<\/strong><\/p>\n IGCAT<\/strong>\u00a0is a non-profit institute established in 2012, working with regional stakeholder consortiums in the fields of gastronomy, culture, arts and tourism.
