This is a period of great transition, some rapid, as the Japanese Empire is destroyed and China establishes a new government, and some slow, as Australia gradually, almost agonizingly, sheds its White Australia policy.

ACIAC hosts a range of events throughout the year from public lectures to seminars, exhibition openings, workshops, book launches and international conferences.
