The Asia Arts Game Changer Awards, celebrating its 10th anniversary, is a signature event honoring important figures across the arts who have made a significant impact on our society. This signature event for Asia Society Museum brings together artists, curators, filmmakers, playwrights, musicians, choreographers, international collectors, arts professionals, and Asia Society trustees and patrons to celebrate excellence in the arts from across Asia and the diaspora.
For this milestone year, Asia Society will be honoring David Henry Hwang, Y.Z. Kami, Min Jin Lee, and Sarah Sze—trailblazing Asian Americans across the arts—in conjunction with Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month. The cocktail reception will feature a special performance featuring excerpts from The Rift, a new opera by David Henry Hwang and Huang Ruo about Maya Lin’s Vietnam Memorial. The dinner menu will be conceived by Michelin-star chef, Vikas Khanna, who will be attending as a guest of honor.
