Antipodean Encounters is an example of a Western Australian arts project that is leading the way in terms of diversity and inclusion. Curated by Ashley Yihsin Chang, Antipodean Encounters was the culmination of a year of intercultural dialogue, interaction and collaboration between twenty-two Taiwanese-born women living in Perth and twenty-two local women artists.

Taiwanese participants were asked to share the story of an object of personal cultural significance with the group, and the artists paired up with the person whose object evoked in them the strongest response. The duos embarked on a collaborative journey, attending art workshops, lectures and cultural tours; co-creating a series of posters; and developing a body of creative works.
