Asia NOW - 11th edition

ASIA NOW Paris returns to the Monnaie de Paris from October 22 to 26, 2025, for its eleventh edition.

For its 11th edition, ASIA NOW affirms a decentralized vision of the world, resonating with the founding concept My East is Your West—a dialogue first inspired by the work of Shilpa Gupta and brought to life through Natasha Ginwala’s 2015 exhibition, the same year ASIA NOW was born. Under the curatorial theme "GROW", ASIA NOW 2025 explores how ideas take root, evolve, and influence the way we understand and represent the world around us. Drawing from Leela Gandhi’s reflections on “affective communities,” the fair offers space for shared narratives and meaningful collaborations across borders.

This year’s edition places a strong focus on West Asia (Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Bahrain, Lebanon, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Qatar) and South Asia (India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal), foregrounding their expanding presence and influence on the global contemporary art stage. At once locally grounded and globally connected, ASIA NOW continues to reshape both geographical and conceptual boundaries—challenging the traditional art fair model with a bold, multidisciplinary program. Expect a vibrant mix of performances, installations, conversations, and special projects, developed in close collaboration with guest curators and leading institutions.
