ESEA Encounters

The Southbank Centre is celebrating East and South East Asian arts and culture all weekend this July 17 to 20.

Shop for Japanese ceramics, jewelery, vintage kimono, comics and more at the Yokimono Japanese Summer Market, go to a 12-hour theatre-rave by acclaimed Chinese artist Tianzhuo Chen, explore Yoshitomo Nara’s wonderful cartoon figures, and much more.
