About this Event
Presented by Amalia Suryani, and in celebration of Saung Budaya's 20th anniversary, we are proud to present KulturAksi: NY Indonesian Art Fest, an immersive show that brings various forms of Indonesian art together under one roof. This milestone event serves as a platform for local, New York-based Indonesian artists to showcase the archipelago's rich heritage through music, dance, visual arts, culinary traditions, and literature.
The festival's tagline, KulturAksi, was chosen to highlight the intersection of art, culture, and advocacy through action. For this year’s theme, we aim to leverage creative expression to address global environmental challenges—an issue of increasing urgency worldwide—and inspire meaningful action within our community and beyond.
The festival will feature visual art exhibitions from multidisciplinary creators like Jo Cowtree, Pinot, Mo Riza, Megan Nugroho, and Samuel Alexander Forest, alongside a traditional dance performance by Saung Budaya Dance. Through food tastings and interactive music sessions, guests will experience the "jajan" culture and traditional soundscapes of Indonesia firsthand. The event will include collaborations with organizations such as the Endangered Language Alliance to facilitate discussions on classic Indonesian literature and linguistic diversity.
