#3: Reliving the Magic of Asian Persuasion | Antwerp 2025
On March 21st - the International Day Against Racism - we came together for the second edition of Asian Persuasion. And what a night it was! From the moment the doors opened, there was an undeniable energy in the air, fueled by incredible talent, a supportive community and a shared passion for Asian creativity.
With a sold-out venue, a dynamic lineup of artists and an audience that brought nothing but love, this edition surpassed all expectations. The feedback has been overwhelming - people have told us how much they loved the curation, how seamlessly the night flowed and how powerful it was to see so many Asian artists shine on stage. Some even shared that they had never felt so connected to their roots before. This is exactly why we do what we do.

A Growing Movement
Asian Persuasion isn’t just an event, it’s a movement. We’re building a space where Asian creatives can thrive, where representation isn’t an afterthought and where the community comes together to celebrate and uplift each other. The success of this edition proves that what we’re doing is meaningful and necessary. And we want to keep growing!
