Un/Uttered: Asian Art Collectives in Dialogue + Micro Film Festival was co-organised by Open Contemporary Art Center, Tra-Travel (Japan) and Osaka Art Hub, with the festival programmed by P.M.S. The event took place on 3–4 February 2024 at FIGYA in Osaka, Japan. Over two days the programme moved between Indigenous Taiwanese cinema, the operational realities of independent Asian art organisations, and perspectives from Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan, holding a question: what is uttered, and what remains unsaid?
