Creativity in a World of Technology: A Modern Trend to Old Ways - Hybrid

MORE >>

Technology has immense power to elevate our imagination, providing us with powerful digital tools to unleash creativity to innovate. But the question is, should we always strive to innovate in order to grow and stay competitive in this modern world? Perhaps, sometimes, innovation is not always about something new. It can also be about seeing what is around us from a new perspective, fusing the age-old techniques with new points of view. The key is being creative and not being afraid to experiment until something that works is found. By utilizing different pieces in harmony we will create not just a sense of authenticity but also a sense of history.

Let's sat down together with our noteworthy art practitioners who take a beautiful approach to mix the old and new in art and everything-in-between.

The Quiet Revolution How Korean Literature is Influencing the World

MORE >>

There are many insights that can be drawn from the Nobel Prize in Literature that Han Kang received in 2024. From violence against women, geopolitics in the world of literature, to numerous other humanitarian issues. One topic that is also worth discussing is the massive cultural diplomacy efforts that Korea has made in the last two decades, especially through literature. In addition to Han Kang, Indonesian readers are now familiar with the literary works of Korean writers such as Cho Nam Joo, Min Jin Lie, and many others. Han Kang's crowning as a Nobel laureate in literature and the growing popularity of Korean literature in various parts of the world are, to some extent, the result of Korea's continuous cultural diplomacy efforts. In this discussion, we will talk about the introduction of Korean literature in Indonesia and the intricacies of their cultural diplomacy.

Journaling, The History and Evolution of Personal Narratives - Hybrid

MORE >>

People most likely have recorded their sentiments and ideas since ancient times. From carving the most significant events of their life in stone, or documenting personal thoughts, reflections, and historical events in hieroglyphics and papyrus scrolls, to creating the commonplace book that consisted of a compilation of curated intellectual and emotional landscapes to inspire them day by day.

Today, a wide array of people uses journaling extensively. Artists, authors, journalists, photographers, podcasters, and others all employ the power of journaling which can take many forms, including writing, audio, or visual. In this session we invite you join a conversation on journaling with three notable figures that keep notes to give deeper meaning to their works using three different methods.

Old Buildings, New Uses A Fusion of Past and Present

MORE >>

Preserving a historic building is not just about maintaining the integrity and authenticity of every material aspect it possesses. It is also about ensuring that the building's value remains relevant over time. One of the ways that architects or designers do this is by repurposing and giving the building an innovative touch. Hence, we see how historic buildings are transformed into lively public spaces or become part of various art performances.

Small Shops, Big Impact The Resilience of Indonesia's Independent Bookstores

MORE >>

Despite their financial limitations, a number of independent bookstores in Indonesia have managed to grow quite vibrantly and are able to offer alternative choices for book lovers. Not just a place to buy and sell books, these independent bookstores are able to bring together book activists from various fields, serve as a place to create new discourses about the world of books, and form diverse communities of readers. In addition, independent bookstores which often use modest and small spaces in city corners seem like an anomaly amongst the massive growth of e-commerce platforms which is said to make booksales easier. In other words, independent bookstores have now become an important instrument in enthusiastically building Indonesia's book ecosystem. In this discussion session, we will not only discuss the importance of these independent bookstores, but also talk about the strategies that have been and can be applied by independent bookstore managers in building relationships with their readers.
