INDONESIA FOCUS: Islands of Imagination: An Indonesian Cultural Late

One month before Indonesia appears as Market Focus Country at The London Book Fair (LBF) 2019, the National Organising Committee of Indonesia are hosting a cultural late at Asia House on Friday 15th February.

Gallery Lukisan will be presenting artwork by Arwin Hidayat, and contemporary interpretations of wayang shadow puppetry by Berlin-based artist Herlmabang Bayu Aji. Darmasiswa scholar Emma Brassington will be sharing her contemporary interpretations of Indonesian masks, contrasted against traditional masks from the Embassy's collection in London. Chefs Petty...
