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. << LESS |

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. << LESS |

The Southteast Asia Palate How Migration Shapes Culinary Trends MORE >>
In addition to sharing a similar historical background as post-colonial countries, Southeast Asian countries also share a distinctive culinary identity. Geographical factors, migration, and other social-cultural encounters that have occurred over the centuries have influenced the likeness of culinary flavors in this region. These resemblances are not just a matter of taste, but they also represent the values of the people of Southeast Asia. In this session, we'll discuss the traces of culinary similarities across Southeast Asian societies, and how they can serve as a key asset for future cultural products, helping to strengthen ties between Southeast Asian countries. << LESS |

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. << LESS |

Radical Imagination: Is A Better World Possible? MORE >>
Scientists and social scientists are compartmentalized and seemingly shackled by their own knowledge when we expect a breakthrough from the crisis we face.

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. << LESS |

The Bittersweet Taste of Nostalgia MORE >>
It would be impossible to talk about reminiscing of the past without mentioning food nostalgia. It is a powerful emotion that transport us back to the past, connecting us with people and places we hold dear, and evoking our emotions and cultural identity. Food patterns are specific to cultures and ethnic identity. Recipes are in a way a manifestation of the sociocultural environment. << LESS |

This session provides space for writers from South East Asian countries to share their obstacles, aspirations and real steps that need to be taken.

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. << LESS |

Writing in a Burning World: Do Words Still Matter? MORE >>

Exploring the Art of Riso Printing in a Post-digital World MORE >>
Since its inception in 1984, Riso has been a popular short-run press option in the era and was one of the last new print technologies to be standardized before the internet took off. The technology sits at the interface between analog and digital. What was once a machine defined for its utility has found new life as a medium for artists and illustrators in creating art projects and zines. << LESS |

Writer's Talk: The Layers of Nature MORE >> In her debut novel Die grüne Grenze, Isabel Fargo Cole placed the forests of the Harz Mountain not only as the natural setting of her story but as multilayered dimension where the-political, the-historical, the mythical, the-cultural happened and even clashed into one another. It is precisely these layers which will be delved into some depths in this session: what do we really talk about when we talk about the natural world. Obviously, with her years of activism and writing, Amalya Reza Oktaviani would provide interesting insights into this. The conversations with the two writers with different backgrounds will enrich our perspective of nature << LESS |

Relentless Battles: How to Never Surrender MORE >>
Struggle at all levels is a daily occurrence. The conflict between the wealthy and the unprivileged (but close to nature) continues to occur in all parts of the world. Intersectionality with issues of class, gender, race, culture, food, etc. is raised by writers who understand how all aspects of life are interconnected. And how difficult it is to unravel this tangled thread. << LESS |

From Ancient Grains to Future Farms Exploring Traditional Ways for Food Sustainability MORE >> In the pursuit of ensuring national food security, the government has introduced various massive-scale programs in the form of food estates. Large areas of land have been cleared and cultivated to become national food barns. However, these mega projects have created many conflicts, whether with local communities or with mother nature itself. On the other hand, a number of food activists have carried out a series of movements to raise public awareness about alternative food sources, reducing our dependence on the market and the state. One of the ways food activists campaign for alternative food security is by learning and re-approaching the ancient knowledge of Indonesia's ancestors. In this session, we will learn more about the efforts in exploring traditional food knowledge to attain food security in the future. << LESS |

Poetry Night: Solidarity for the Earth MORE >> Poetry Night: Solidarity for the Earth is a stage to voice empathy and solidarity with the victims of genocide and ecocide in various parts of the world, from Gaza to Srebrenica, from Papua to Volnovakha. Their poems will be the voices of the silenced and the stories of those who have been ignored. The poems will also connect the sense of humanity for those who are oppressed, showing how art is a medium that can convey messages of justice, peace, and sustainability. Poets from various countries (Ukraine, Iran, and Indonesia) and different generations will deliver litanies to comfort grief, as well as encouragement to fight for hope. On this night, we create a collective space to celebrate empathy and build hope through the power of words. Literature enthusiasts, environmentalists, and nature lovers can come to think about the meaning of solidarity in the midst of the ongoing humanitarian and environmental crisis, and celebrate solidarity together. << LESS |
