On 3 November 2021 at 12pm GMT, a virtual event was organized by the Asia Forum for the Contemporary Art of Global Asias, featuring artists Irwan Ahmett, Tita Salina, Ho Rui An, and Lawrence Lek. The focus was on the intersection of digital currency, NFTs, and climate change. Conversations also touched on the concept of 'liquidity' with contributions from council members Annie Jael Kwan, Hammad Nasar, John Tain, and Ming Tiampo. The Bagri Foundation sponsors the Asia Forum, which includes a 2021/22 program of digital events and a physical gathering at Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice scheduled for 23 April 2022.
