‘Expanding Surrounding’ features exciting new creative digital and in-person collaborations between artists from Australia and Indonesia.

Australian artist Vipoo Srivilasa met with his Indonesian collaborator Achmad Ilham Sadikin in person in Bandung, bringing their creative dialogue from the digital realm into face-to-face connection. Meanwhile, Claudia Panca Fadilla (Indonesia) and Anna Louise Richardson (Australia) have developed their collaborative drawn work through productive online meetings.

"This project creates rich opportunities for artists, staff, and audiences from both countries to engage and learn from each other," said Sim Luttin co-founder of Art et al. and director of Jump Left. "The collaboration has strong foundations, building on Art et al. and Tab Space’s earlier UK/Indonesia project ‘Capturing Surrounding’, and demonstrates the power of international partnerships in creating mutually beneficial opportunities for both creative and professional growth."
