Market as Muse: Art and Community in Pontianak

Deposit $50 | RSVP

How can we find new ways to connect with communities through alternative art spaces?

On the upper floor of a local market in Pontianak, Indonesia, the Susur Galur art collective has established a community space for mutual learning and knowledge exchange, including research on traditional crafts, rivers, and maritime culture, such as the uses of squid ink.

At CHAT, Susur Galur will share their experiences working with the local community amid the market’s hustle and bustle, showcasing creative projects that involve dyeing cloth with squid ink. After the sharing, they will also guide you to create a stylish pouch from upcycled plastic bags, spreading the joy of community crafting and sustainability!

Experience level: No prior experience is needed. All are welcome, especially community practitioners.
