Aside from the coffee and colonial-style architecture, Melbourne and Bandung share a strong identity as art cities, each with vibrant street art scenes, rich histories, and deep community engagement in the arts. Dubbed Australia’s cultural capital, Melbourne's renowned street art and festivals are paralleled by Bandung's innovative community art initiatives and historic charm.
Dea Azalia visited Melbourne on a 4-month work placement program at the RMIT Gallery as part of her Masters degree in Art Management and Curatorship from the Bandung Institute of Technology. Aside from being an Assistant Lecturer and Creative Director at the university, her work focuses on Melbourne and Bandung’s parallels in the art industry and how she can help to democratise art in Bandung, and more broadly in Indonesia.
In this episode, Dea joins Billy Adison Aditijanto on The Perantau Podcast to talk about Melbourne’s artistic innovation and readiness, the success of Bandung’s grassroots movement, and why it’s fun to walk around and eat at art galleries.
This episode is predominantly delivered in Bahasa Indonesia. A transcript is available online.
