DEKAT-DEKAT JAUH (So Close Yet So Far)

Santy Saptari Art Consulting and Asialink Arts invite you to join us for Dekat-Dekat Jauh (So Close Yet So Far), a conversation series about Indonesia-Australia relations in visual arts, taking place on Saturdays from 27 February – 20 March 2021. Through the lens of visual arts the program aims to ask, ‘what can the arts do to build understanding and trust between nations?’ and, ‘can greater awareness and familiarity of the art produced in a place promote a deeper connection?’.

Join leading artists, representatives from public and private Australian and Indonesian art institutions, art collectors and gallerists to explore what the arts can do to build trust and understanding between two nations.
