Prof. Miya Yoshida Co-Curates Asia Triennial Manchester 2025 (4 November – 4 December)
Professor Miya Yoshida, Head of the Artistic Research PhD in Art Program at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, serves as one of the conveners and curators of the 6th Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM6), titled Transvaluation.

Running from 4 November to 4 December 2025, ATM6 is hosted by the Manchester School of Art at Manchester Metropolitan University, in collaboration with several partner venues across the city. The Triennial brings together a wide-ranging body of work by over 30 international practitioners, exploring the concept of transvaluation — a call to reimagine systems of value and meaning beyond economic or market-based frameworks. The exhibition foregrounds social, ecological, and decolonial perspectives, encouraging dialogue and creative practices that seek to redefine how value is conceived and shared in contemporary culture.

Workshop/Research Jam
https://atm.mmu.ac.uk/research-jam/

Marie Reichel and Conny Zenk, doctoral researchers from the Artistic Research PhD in Art Program, present their research as part of Research Jam, hosted by the Asia Triennial Manchester 6 (ATM6). They are among fourteen doctoral students from the UK and Southeast Asia participating in this collaborative platform.
Over the course of a year, fourteen PhD researchers from Southeast Asia and Europe have been brought together within the framework of Research Jam. This internationally diverse group has been cultivating discursive dialogues and creative exchanges, establishing a sustained model of transnational collaboration.

The outcomes of the project reflect its open and experimental format, embracing the intersections of cross-disciplinary practice. Content is organised into fluid thematic clusters that encourage dialogue and overlap. The year-long “jam” explores a wide range of topics, including animated matter, decolonial practice, acoustic territories, rupture, health and wellbeing, cross-cultural exchange, and digital transformation.
