ouTube launched on Monday a pop-up space at the Art:1 New Museum in Central Jakarta where it invites Indonesian creators to make high-quality content and collaborate with the other bright minds.
"We see many creators who live in small cities across Java, Sulawesi, even Papua create content and reap success from YouTube," said Google Indonesia managing director Tony Keusgen during the opening event as quoted by Antara news agency.
The pop-up space will reportedly be available from Sept. 18 to 24 for selected YouTube content creators to take footage at the studio and use the camera, lighting and other facilities provided by the company.
