In conjunction with the special exhibition Tintin Wulia: Things-in-Common, the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art will hold the open program "Meeting Point: Encounter, Get to Know, Exchange." This program will not take the form of a so-called exhibition, but will be a place with a learning function, where visitors can freely learn, know, think and exchange opinions, leading to spontaneous action.
Know the facts and learning from history.
In the background of Wulia's artistic activities, we can see her family's experiences of being involved in the social upheavals that took place in her native Indonesia, and the memories that are passed on through family stories, collective memories, trauma and ethnic minority origins. Why not learn about the history of Indonesia's modernization, including the upheaval and tragedy caused by the political change of 1965, and about the insects that interest Wulia, through books and videos?
Learn more about Tintin Wulia's wide-ranging activities and research.
As well as working individually as an artist, Wulia has collaborated with people from a wide range of disciplines. Some of these collaborations have resulted in artworks, while others have created platforms for sharing knowledge ( → 1965 Setiap Hari) or led to large-scale research projects ( → THINGSTIGATE-Things for Politics’ Sake: Aesthetic Objects and Social Change ). Some of her activities are presented here, which leads to a deeper understanding of Wulia's artistic practice.
