"We expand opportunities for disabled, neurodivergent, and intellectually disabled artists, connecting them with peers, curators and galleries nationally and internationally. Through partnerships with art studios and our project and curatorial hub, we co-create exhibitions that strengthen diverse voices in art."

EXHIBITION

ON NOW | Expanding Surrounding
Until 15 November 2025

Expanding Surrounding, ‘Mengembangkan Sekitar’ in Indonesian, is an international collaborative exhibition between Tab Space in Indonesia and Art et al. international platform.

Expanding Surrounding represents an extraordinary Indonesia-Australia cultural exchange that brings together neurodivergent and neurotypical artists in dynamic peer-to-peer collaborations. This innovative project builds on the successful 2024 'Capturing Surrounding' UK/Indonesia collaboration, deepening cross-cultural partnerships and fostering genuine understanding between creative communities.

These partnerships have already produced remarkable creative dialogues, from Vipoo Srivilasa's recent trip in Bandung to meet collaborator Achmad Ilham Sadikin, to the ongoing digital exchanges between Claudia Panca Fadilla (Indonesia) and Anna Louise Richardson (Australia).

Proudly supported by the Australia-Indonesia Institute at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Creative Australia and Creative Victoria, with exhibition and venue partner Jump Left and Impact Neighbourhoods.
