SUMMARY:Painting Exhibition “Universe of Colors”
DESCRIPTION:Organized by SEA Junction\, the painting exhibition “Universe of Colors” by Erica Hestu Wahyuni will run from 29 November to 11 December 2022 on the curved wall\, 4th floor of Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). The exhibition will include her newly created pieces as well as her recently exhibited pieces as part of the Bridge of Colors: Indonesian Painting Exhibition at the National Gallery of Thailand. \nTypically\, Erica depicts her experiences in scenes with main characters in extremely busy environments. The theme of her painting is about a happy journey to enjoy the universe and how the harmony of the universe. Its contents greatly determine human survival. The painting tells the story of parts of Indonesian heritage. There are also mangroves\, elephants\, trees\, and the island of Bali. She takes an interest in the scenes’ surroundings\, painting them with great detail. Erica animates the objects in the surroundings to make them become part and parcel of the subject matter of the work. \n \nArtist Brief Bio \nBorn in Yogyakarta\, Java in 1971\, Erica started painting in primary school\, joining a children’s drawing club (Sanggar Katamsi)\, which was taught by Suharto PR and Herry Wibowo – both established painters. Later she studied painting at the prestigious Indonesian Fine Art Institute in Yogyakarta\, Indonesia and Surikov Institute of Art\, Russia.  In 1993\, her work was selected for the International Triennale Competition of Painting in Osaka\, Japan. Erica held her first solo exhibition at the Purna Budaya in 1995\, officiated by the sultan of Yogyakarta\, which turned out to be a successful event. Since then she has exposed all over the world most recently in Austria and Vietnam. \nErica’s naive\, playful renditions have ascertained her reputation as one of the most sought-after contemporary artists in Southeast Asia. Each work contains interesting narrative qualities\, which reveal the worldview of the artist. \nOrganizer \nSEA Junction\, established under the Thai non-profit organization Foundation for Southeast Asia Studies (ForSEA)\, aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions- from arts and lifestyles to economy and development. Conveniently located at Room 408 of the Bangkok Arts and Culture Center or BACC (across MBK\, BTS National Stadium)\, SEA Junction facilitates public access to knowledge resources and exchanges among students\, practitioners and Southeast Asia lovers.

SUMMARY:Book Launch and Discussion “Mountains More Ancient”
DESCRIPTION:Isna Marifa’s debut novel Mountains More Ancient focuses on the Indonesian experience of slavery in South Africa. Set in 1751\, nine-year-old Wulan finds herself half a world away from her home in Java\, lost without her family. She and her father\, Parto\, are enslaved on a Cape Colony farmstead\, with little hope of returning home. In this new world\, they hold fast to their Javanese identity and beliefs. This book shines a light on the history of subjugation through a timeless story of love\, loss\, and longing. \nThe book will be launched on 10 December 2022\, 5.30-7.00 pm at SEA Junction following its launch in Indonesia during the 19th Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF) at the end of October 2022. The author Isna Marifa will be present and discuss her book with the visual artist/writer Shane Bunnag. \nAuthor’s Bio \nIsna Marifa is a senior environmental specialist and author. Brought up mostly in Indonesia\, she also spent time in the US and Japan. She was thus exposed to literature from different parts of the world\, finding in it a window to people\, their history\, and culture. A visit to South Africa led to her commitment to telling the story of the Javanese who were taken there in the colonial era. Mountains More Ancient (Kabar Media\, 2022) is her first novel. \nCommentator’s Bio \nShane Bunnag grew up in England and Greece\, and studied history at the University of Edinburgh. He has worked as a documentary filmmaker\, a writer and photographer but he would describe himself as a visual artist. He is essentially a hybrid individual\, combining places\, bloodlines\, cultures\, and passions.
