ARTIST TALK: Taring Padi

DATE: 4 MARCH 2017
TIME: 3:00 PM

Taring Padi is a community of underground artists formed during the days of social upheaval, following the fall of Suharto in 1998. Initially formed by ISI (Institut Seni Indonesia) students in Yogyakarta, this group deploys art as a tool of information to highlight social, political, and economic concerns faced by the Indonesian populace. A voice for marginalised communities, Taring Padi creates art to both educate and provide a platform to raise issues faced by these communities.
