Join us for a special lecture by renowned Indonesian contemporary artist Heri Dono, our guest professor supported by the Ludwig Foundation.
His works have gained international recognition, blending traditional Javanese art forms—such as wayang kulit (shadow puppetry)—with contemporary socio-political commentary and experimental media. Known for his playful, surreal installations and animated sculptures, his art challenges global and local power structures with humor, symbolism, and deep cultural insight. This is a unique opportunity to engage with one of Southeast Asia’s most visionary and influential artists.
The lecture is in English. All are warmly invited!
