Ruang Rupa at Minikino Jakarta
These video works are all about Jakarta, small narrations from urban life, and about urban space in Jakarta. Jakarta became the context, a conceptual background for artists working with video as a medium to explore their ideas. Through its arts projects and workshops, Ruang Rupa makes the effort to bring urban issues into focus.
