Who has time for long posts anyway? We keep things short and snappy here, with a curated selection of the bite-sized information about Southeast Asian art.

As an artist and anthropologist constantly on the move between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Bethany is curious about everything from noise bombing, performative intervention, alternative art education and untold art history narratives. If she’s not working poolside teaching artistic swimming, or holding an impossible posture in a hot yoga studio, you’ll find her on a red motorcycle, racing off to catch the latest art opening on a quest to discover more about the dynamic and robust ecosystem of Indonesia’s contemporary art scene.
