Wine and dine - films, events and mingles

Apart from listening to and presenting papers the conference provides opportunities for socializing and art experiences.

Each evening there are opportunities to take part in social activities.

Wednesday
For you who want to make an early registration, the registration office will open on Wednesday afternoon in The Annedal Seminar, the main venue for the conference. Beverages and light refreshments will be served. Take the opportunity to mingle with friends before the conference starts.

Thursday
On the first evening of the conference the Lord Mayor of Gothenburg will have a reception for all participants in the conference. There will be buses bringing you from the university to the reception hall. Free drinks and refreshments.

Friday
On Friday evening, Barley Norton will show his film, “Hanoi Eclipse: The Music of Dai Lam Linh”, (56 mins, 2010) in The Linné Hall. The documentary follows the challenges faced by the groundbreaking and controversial Vietnamese band Dai Lam Linh, while rehearsing and performing in their hometown of Hanoi. It shows how the band came together to create a unique form of popular music, which is both international in outlook and rooted in Vietnamese traditions and aesthetics. Followed by scandal at every turn for their experimental sound and their use of sexually explicit lyrics, the band have dared to flout taboos and fight for their creative freedom.

In the evening NIAS will have a book launch and wine reception presenting all their “millennium” authors. Meet the authors and discuss their books with them. The event will take place in the beautiful assembly hall on fifth floor in The Annedal Seminar.

Saturday
