6-21 October , 2017Jl. Kebon Nanas 1, Jakarta / Indonesia
Micro Galleries Jakarta presented over 50 artists/collectives/initiatives from 20 different countries in the incredibly dynamic kampung of Jl. Kebon Nanas 1. Gritty lanes and rubbish-filled fields became colourful playgrounds for the artists and community, where we all came together to paste, paint, project and perform. Origami birds fluttered overhead, 10,000 recycled shoes colour-blasted our feet, paint and spray-fuelled fantasies transformed hundreds of meters of lanes, women from around the world overtook the walls, Digital Busking bounced us throughout kampungs and and a Tape cassette DJ landed us all smoothly with reels of magnetic tape music.
Micro Galleries took place from:
1 – 5 October: Lead in week + installation
6 – 8 October: Live Weekend
9 – 21 October: Open Air Galleries for public viewing

The week was amazing, dynamic, brilliant and mind-blowingly successful. Partnering with community-based organisation #belajaran, this was our largest installation and project to date. Seventeen workshops were run over the week leading up to and during the Live Weekend. Some of these were exclusively for the children in the kampung, and some open for the public. There were various public events during the lead-in week and the Live Weekend. These included: Artist Networking event and artist talk, Digital Busking in several kampungs, Opening Night, Projection and live Art evening, and Women on the Wall.
We also had 10 AMAZING visiting international artists join us for the week as part of our residency program.
