EDUCATION

“Tak kenal maka tak sayang” – Indonesian proverb.
If you don’t understand, then you won’t fall in love.

aNERDgallery is dedicated to show the beauty of Indonesian textile arts from multiple perspectives. Through textile arts education, rather than presenting the motif and the process of how a batik or a tenun is produced, we bring you behind the scenes to show the hidden gems – to humanize the arts. From sociology and history to science and politics, we present you the story, the inspiration and the dedication behind these national treasures.

Stay thirsty, stay nerdy.
