The Beyond Borders roundtable panel brings together five conservation scholars from Australia and Indonesia to critically explore how collection care for Indonesian material culture intersects with cross-cultural practices, global pedagogies, and culturally embedded research.

Speakers will share experiences working with Indonesian cultural material across diverse public and private collections in Victoria, and learning in Indonesia, including: a large-scale private collection of contemporary mixed media works in regional Victoria; a state-owned collection of Southeast Asian manuscripts, an institutional research collection of wayang kulit and cross-cultural studies in Indonesia.
