Cultural exchange:
 Learning from the global south

Wednesday 11 February

A 90-minute Zoom symposium
06:30 Los Angeles / 09:30 New York / 14:30 London / 15:30 Paris / 17:30 Istanbul / 20:00 New Delhi 

As cultural exchange becomes both more urgent and more complex, the programme will explore two central questions:


How do collector-led initiatives evolve from private vision into broader cultural ecosystems?

What does it take to translate ambitious cultural exchange into operational reality?

Moderated by Alessio Antoniolli, Director, Triangle Network, the convening features two panel discussions combining scripted provocations with moderated dialogue to surface practical insights, test assumptions, and reflect on what it truly takes to build cultural relationships that endure.

Alessio will be joined by Alain Nsiona Defise, Co-founder, Defise Foundation, Hiba Safieddine Nesr, Co-founder, NESR Art Foundation, Carolina Pelletier Fontes, Collection Manager, FAS - Forward Art Stories and Nusrat Mahmund, Co-founder, Brihatta Art Foundation.
