BIAS Arts (British Indonesian Artists’ Society) is a non-profit making arts organisation, based in the UK, which provides opportunities for exchange programmes, funding support and advice to established and emerging Indonesian and British Artists. This year BIAS has organised a touring exhibition to be held in the following galleries, Christopher Gull Gallery, Brighton 6-28
May 2006 To develop and enhance the themes
of cross-cultural and trans-continental creativity, an educational
project aimed at young people aged between 11-14 will run in parallel
with these exhibitions. Where the exhibition
presents the work of visual artists, six who live and work in Britain and
six who live and work in Indonesia, the educational project will focus
on literary creativity, specifically the short story. Six British
children and six Indonesian children will be selected from schools located
across their respective countries to write a short narrative on a particular
theme; in the first case the chosen theme is ‘Ghosts’. Each
story will be published in one volume containing both English and Bahasa
Indonesian translations and include copies of works from this tour. The
publications will be circulated to schools, encouraging awareness of
the unlimited capacity for imagination and inventiveness that children
across the world share.
