ASIAN-AUSTRALIAN MELBOURNE 'SHORT NOTICE' DECEMBER MEETUP

... Chatting, hatching plans and other non-emailing activities for
Asian-Australians and their friends...

This is short notice but we are having an Asian-Australian Melbourne
Meetup on SATURDAY 9 DECEMBER.

This meetup coincides with the visit of Ashok Mathur, a Canadian
writer/academic from Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia.
Ashok has published several works of fiction, and currently holds a
research chair in Cultural and Artistic Inquiry in the Centre for
Innovation in Culture and the Arts in Canada (CiCAC). Ashok is very
interested in talking with artists/activists/folks in general in
alternative arts and cultural communities, especially those who engage
with race and cultural identity. You can find out more about Ashok and
what he gets up to by visiting his website: http://www.amathur.ca

So, come along and have a chat with Ashok or just hang out with some of
the AA crew. In general, the Asian-Australian Meetups are a chance to
meet and chat with Asian Australians and their collaborators, friends,
partners and other associated bods (note: 'non-Asians' are
more than welcome!). The meetups have a very casual vibe.

So why not come along? The details are:

DATE/TIME: SATURDAY 9 December, 1.30pm
VENUE: Shark Fin Inn, Little Bourke Street, City

RSVPing would be handy. RSVP by THURSDAY 7 DECEMBER to
asianaustmeetups-owner@yahoogroups.com or tseen@...
