Dear Partners and Friends of SEA Junction,
The “ASEAN People in Flux” series and the “Displaced and Uprooted” series take center stage in May with a number of activities that focus on people’s movements in Southeast Asia–forced, reluctant, exploitative and voluntary.
An intermezzo, is the shadow play and related workshops by Indonesian artist Jumaadi, His work proposes new art forms inspired by local realities and grounded in traditional concepts and motifs.
I hope this month program is of interest to you and i look forward to seeing you at our events. Please help us share this agenda to reach a wider audience. Also, for those who are far or cannot attend, please be aware that we have started to broadcast panel discussions on our facebook page.
Looking forward to continued interaction.
Best regards,
Lia Sciortino Sumaryono
Founder and Executive Director SEA Junction
