About this webinar
This, the first of four conversations for the Dekat-Dekat Jauh series, brought together prominent Indonesian and Australian artists Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, Febie Babyrose (Tromarama), Jumaadi, and Tintin Wulia to share their respective experiences in Indonesia and Australia exploring the professional, social and cultural contexts.
The session touched on the value of artistic exchange and residency programs as well as the experience as a member of a diaspora community exploring notions of identity and using various cultural references as a form of expression with Bala Starr, Director of La Trobe Art Institute, as a moderator.
