OzAsia’s final festival opens next week, and after 20 years of annual programming supported by Adelaide Festival Centre, it has a lot to be proud of.
As Gould told SA’sInDaily in August, the Adelaide Festival Centre has concluded that, ‘having a dedicated OzAsia Festival that’s about Asian arts doesn’t really represent the fact that Asian voices also want to see a year-round presence at the centre’.
