【Message from the organizer】
■ The Asia International Friendship Exhibition will be held for the 17th year this year. This exhibition is an international art friendship exchange exhibition that was started as a bridge between young people who aim to become artists in both countries, together with art educators from Japan and Indonesia. In 2024, we will invite one lecturer from the Fine Art Course at the Faculty of Art and Design of Maranatha Christian University and four artists from the Pijar Foundation, and bring together 10 Japanese art professionals, artists, and designers and 50 students to hold live events including performing arts and artist talks.

【Dunia Nusatara－Indonesia Nusantara World－】
The Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia) is an island nation located in Southeast Asia, consisting of 15,000 large and small islands, and is also known as the world's largest Islamic country with a population of over 270 million people. ´Dunia Nusatara'’in the title of this exhibition literally means ’Nusantara World.'' Nusantara is an Old Javanese word meaning ’archipelago,´ and refers to the area ruled by the Hindu Majapahit Kingdom, which flourished in central-eastern Java from 1293 to 1478. means. Nusantara has a vast territory centered on present-day Java Island, Sumatra Island to the west, Kalimantan Island and Sulawesi Island to the south, and part of New Guinea Island to the east, and is the largest in the history of the South Sea dynasties. Established a map. This prosperity was achieved by Gadjah Mada, who was the prime minister of the Majapite kingdom at the time. The legend of Gadjah Mada, who had a natural talent, is still passed down as a hero of Indonesia since ancient times. `What is Indonesian art?'' Mr. Ismet's depiction of Gunungan is a special motif that signals the start of a wayang performance, which is known for traditional shadow puppetry. Gunungan has the image of a sacred mountain, and it is said that there are three worlds within the mountain: the heavenly world, the middle world, and the earthly world. Traditional Indonesian art represents a cosmic mountain that connects these three worlds, and like the Borobudur Temple in Central Java, it shows a three-dimensional mandala world that represents the Buddhist cosmology. Sacred beasts appear around Space Mountain, sending the souls of saints who have finished their lives on this earth to the heavenly world. The World of Nusantara is an exhibition that provides an opportunity to think about art culture and educational activities within the larger framework of ``Asia,'' rather than being limited to the art culture of Indonesia. While the worlds of works drawn by Indonesian artists may give you a sense of the art connections that they share with Japan, you may also be reminded of the cultural differences in religion, customs, and other areas. Nusantara is a word that evokes a rich tradition and curiosity for Indonesian people, and the fusion of tradition and innovation can be seen in the world of contemporary Indonesian visual art.
