Chinese Arts Now unveils rebrand

An arts organisation dedicated to providing a platform for East and Southeast Asian artists has announced a new name and logo.

Chinese Arts Now is now Kakilang, which means "one of us" in the Chinese dialect of Hokkien.

Kakilang has said it will stage three live productions next year, including a project in partnership with the Barbican in London, with further details to be announced shortly. 

An-Ting Chang, Artistic Director at Kakilang, said: "Our organisation today is a combination of many cultures and identities and the best thing is: this word broadens the people we want to include. 

"Who is our Kakilang? That was the key question when we came up with this name. Our Kakilang is those who come together through art, and who champion diverse voices and communities. 

"There are so many stories we want to tell from our communities. And we want more people to be our Kakilang, joining us through all forms of live arts.”
