Southeast Asia Spring Festival 2024


Electric energy and a celebratory atmosphere fill the Luce Hall common room. Attendees, holding plates of fragrant dishes, gather around a small, carpeted rectangle, acting as a stage. Organized by Yale’s Southeast Asia language studies program and sponsored by the Yale Macmillan Center’s Council on Southeast Asia Studies, the Spring festival is a celebration and a showcase of the cultural diversity of Southeast Asia through food and performances. The event was held on March 29, 2024, on the second floor of Luce Hall.


 







The Department of Indo-Pacific Art has recently opened an additional display featuring their exceptional collection of Indonesian shadow puppets (wayang kulit) and related arts in the second-floor galleries of Asian art at the Yale University Art Gallery.
