The event aims to not only introduce art in an open space, but also spread awareness about issues of the public’s utilization of the space. Kotabaru itself was chosen as the venue because of its richness in history and architecture, especially since the area was established in the early 1900s.
Among the sculptors participating in the project are Aditya Chandra, Agung Tato, Yudi Asmoro, Michael Boyer from Réunion Island, Thannathon Suwannonthakul from Thailand and Akatsuki Harada from Japan. (wir/kes)
