TARING PADI | in conversation with Charles Esche

Taring Padi, founded in 1988, is a collective based in Yogyakarta Indonesia “that uses art as a tool for political expression and education for all.” Against an individualistic and market oriented conception of art, “Most Taring Padi works are created collectively and can be divided into four categories: billboards or banners, posters, puppets and popular booklets titled “Terompet Rakyat” (The People’s Trumpet)”. 

Taring Padi, who was part of the documenta fifteen lumbung, will present its work and discuss their practices at Sale Docks, in conversation with Charles Esche, director of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven.
