This international exchange is led by Art et al. and Tab Space in Bandung, in partnership with Jump Left. This project builds on the successful Art et al. x Tab Space 2024 'Capturing Surrounding' UK/Indonesia collaboration and will generate dynamic peer-to-peer collaborations between Australian and Indonesian neurodivergent and neurotypical artists and organisations.

The collaborations are underway and gaining momentum. Australian artist Vipoo Srivilasa recently had the opportunity to visit Bandung to meet his collaborator Ilham Sadikin in person, bringing their creative dialogue from the digital realm into face-to-face connection. Meanwhile, Claudia Panca Fadilla (Indonesia) and Anna Louise Richardson (Australia) have already held two productive online meetings as they develop their collaborative work.

The project will culminate in a suite of exhibitions, artist and staff residencies, educational talks, and professional development workshops at Jump Left. The project creates rich opportunities for artists, staff, and audiences from both countries to engage and learn from each other. An artist residency at Jump Left will be undertaken by Adryan Adi Nugraha from Tab Space, who will travel to Melbourne with two staff members.

Art et al.’s initiative deepens cross-cultural partnerships whilst fostering genuine understanding between creative communities. It creates mutually beneficial opportunities for both creative and professional growth, building meaningful connections that extend far beyond the project itself. The collaboration has strong foundations, building on Art et al. and Tab Space’s earlier UK/Indonesia project funded by the British Council.

Tab Space is Indonesia's pioneering professional studio for disabled artists, championing their development as professional practitioners.
