The collaborative synergy between the Faculty of Art and Design (ITB) and the Fine Art Studies at the College of Creative Arts, UiTM Kelantan Branch, is poised to unfold through an innovative conference titled "Road To Asean Visual Art Appraisal (AVAA) 2024, SYMBIOSIS and DIVERGENCE." This landmark event seeks to delve into the intricate facets of artistic practices woven into the narratives of Indonesia and Malaysia, exploring the shared histories that bind them.

Functioning as a dynamic platform, the conference invites scholars, artists, and enthusiasts to partake in a comprehensive discourse under the overarching theme of "Tracing The Artistic Practice of Indonesian & Malaysian Narratives in Shared Histories." This theme undertakes the exploration of symbiotic and divergent elements within the artistic realms of both nations, offering a nuanced understanding of their interconnected cultural landscapes.

A pivotal feature of this conference is the introduction of a collaborative branding initiative between ITB and UiTMCK, aptly named the Asean Visual Art Appraisal (AVAA). This initiative is crafted to transcend traditional boundaries, seeking to elevate the practical narrative of art through a thoughtful discourse interwoven with political and historical dimensions.
