“This festival is charged by the youthful spirit of the UK and Indonesia: a celebration of
the amazing things that can happen when talented people from very different origins
come together to share ideas and creativity”
So for this event, I am showing my paintings for the exhibition, and on Sunday October 22 I will run a workshop which will invite 10 people with mental disability to do painting together and also in the same day Im gonna give a speech in a panel discussion about Arts and Disability along with Adrian Yunan and Khairani Barokka.

I feel so grateful to finally can inspire a lot of people with mental disabilities to start making art without fear of being different. Art is a weapon and art belongs to everyone!
I believe, artists with disabilities both physically and mentally will be able to get the same appreciation as other artists in general. :)))))
