The Great Indonesia Exhibition in Amsterdam: the impressive story of the world's largest archipelago25/10/2023
Previous exhibitions often focused on specific periods or art-historical themes from Indonesia's long history. This exhibition at 'De Nieuwe Kerk' in Amsterdam tells a bigger story, from a contemporary perspective. This exhibition provides an overview of the important history and rich culture of Indonesia and its people over the centuries, from the heyday of the legendary Majapahit Empire, the colonial rule that opposed Indonesian independence and the Second World War to the revolution and proclamation of the republic by Sukarno, the era of Suharto, and Indonesia in today's era with all its challenges.  More than 300 objects will be on display, ranging from centuries-old archaeological finds, sculptures, historical documents and applied art to masks, wajang puppets, textiles, jewellery and fashion, as well as paintings, photographs and films. An extensive contemporary art collection is at the heart of the exhibition. There will be works by Alfiah Rahdini (1990, Bandung), Citra Sasmita (1990, Bali), Eko Nugroho (1977, Yogyakarta), FX Harsono (1949, Jakarta), Heri Dono (1960, Jakarta), Timoteus Anggawan Kusno (1989, Yogyakarta) and many others. This exhibition not only collaborates with various communities in Indonesia and the Netherlands but also with many historians, students, artists, museum experts, archivists, collectors, writers and eyewitnesses. This exhibition was possible thanks to the exchange of knowledge and stories.
