The Malaysian Journal of Performing and Visual Arts is a new, fully peer-reviewed research journal that focuses on the Asian performing and visual arts. It is a forum for scholars in the fields of Asian music, dance, theatre, and fine arts. Published by the University of Malaya Cultural Centre, it appears once a year in December. As an online e-journal, readers can obtain hard copies on demand with a projected global dissemination through the open access policy on the University of Malaya e-journal website. We invite submissions of original articles from the entire scope of Asian performing and fine arts fields.
