At the Festival Salihara 2010, JongArsitek! presents a series of lecture around the theme of “A History of Indonesian Architecture”.

For you and for us, a festival must be more than just an anthology. Festival Salihara, now the third, can be seen as the crème de la crème of our curators’ choosing. We call it thus for two reasons. First, the curators have put together the best possible ones from the respective fields and contexts, more so than when they’re just compiling our monthly programs. Secondly, in the blending between one and the other, the cornucopia of presentations and performances displays a certain je ne sais quoi underlining our vision to preserve diversity and experimentation.

I would not be where I am, if it were not for then president Sukarno, says sculptor Edhi Sunarso.
How was he going to create a nine-meter-high monument for the president! But Sukarno challenged his sense of patriotism, his national pride. And as someone who had fought in the revolution, Sunarso, filled with energy, gathered whatever knowledge he could get his hands on and did it.
