Session 2: Art, Engagement, and Solidarity: Toward Community-Centered Responses to Social and Environmental Challenges in Indonesia
Panel (Paper) Presentations
Session Description
This panel explores the dynamic role of art and social initiatives in fostering solidarity across diverse communities in Indonesia. Examining four unique practice-led studies, the discussion spans from refugee support networks to inclusive art spaces, long-term socially engaged art practice in an urban area, and hydro-social relationships. Each study provides insights into how art and grassroots efforts address pressing socio-political and environmental issues. The panel highlights Muslim volunteers' work in refugee solidarity networks, inclusive curatorial practices that engage visually impaired spectators, an art collective's sustained community engagement through socially-engaged practices, and hydro-socially engaged art that reimagines human-water interactions along the Cikapundung River. Together, these presentations reveal how cultural, social, and ecological practices intertwine, offering frameworks for sustained dialogue with complex social and environmental challenges while underscoring art's capacity to inspire meaningful social impact in Indonesia.
