Southeast Asia is rich in cultural diversity, historical significance, and age-old traditions. But what exactly defines Southeast Asia, and how have its peoples coexisted and interacted through time, in all their differences and similarities? What are the narratives that have shaped identities, created communities, and at times altered the course of history?

The peoples of these 'lands beneath the winds' have left us clues about their lives, values, and civilisations over the course of millennia. The Southeast Asia Story Project seeks to better understand the region through its stories and song, its art and artefacts, and the voices of its people.

Are you passionate about celebrating and preserving the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and histories that define Southeast Asia? If so, we invite you to become part of The Southeast Asia Story Project.

From the insights of academics, to the expressions of artists, to the practices of today's bearers of culture and heritage, we want to create a community of storytellers who can contribute to an audio, visual, and written archive that can inform and enrich understanding of this vibrant region. Contact us to collaborate and become part of this journey.
