fter three years of being held online because of COVID-19 restrictions, Artjog 2023 has returned for two months of in-person exhibitions at the Jogja National Museum in Yogyakarta.
Thousands of visitors have welcomed the biggest art festival in Indonesia.
Seventy-one local and international artists, including 22 child artists, are being featured at Artjog 2023, curated this year by Nadiah Bamadhaj and Hendro Wiyanto. The festival runs from June 30 to Aug. 27 with the theme “Motif: Lamaran” (Motif: Proposal).
With this broad theme, focusing on the motifs found within each artists’ existing body of work, this year’s event is expansive and reflective, featuring many works that have developed over a number of years.
