In an age of speed, should we rethink sustainable travel in the arts? ASEF culture360 speaks with Liu Xiaoyi, in our podcast series Opportunities for Mobility & More, where he shares his vision for sustainable cultural mobility in China and in the arts.

Through Xiaoyi's recent update of the Mobility Funding Guide for China and his extensive experiences in cross cultural collaborations, Xiaoyi advocates for slow travel - staying longer and building lasting connections with the people that we work with, where sustainability can be rooted instead in the longevity of relationships. 

Since 2012, ASEF through culture360 has collaborated with On the Move (OTM), the European network for cultural mobility to jointly present the Mobility Funding Guides for International Cultural Exchange for the 51 countries of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM).  We hope that these guides will help you navigate cultural organisations that fund exchanges in and between Asia and Europe.
