JAKARTA – A group of students from Jakarta International School organized an art exhibition over the weekend to raise funds for the education of underprivileged children in Indonesia.
Known as Asmaraloka Chapters, the group, which was founded by students Joan Emmanuella and Joanna Thalia, held the event from Friday to Sunday at SPAC8, Ashta, in South Jakarta with the title “Chapter 2: Dreams”.
The event was the second in a series that began with “Chapter 1: Identity” in October 2023.
This year, the exhibition featured 47 works from various groups of artists, including those with disabilities, aiming to raise awareness of their contributions, the group said in a press release.
Attendees had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a colorful display of art, engage in interactive activities and explore a digital artscape.
Visitors were also invited to write messages on sticky notes posted on a wall giving advice to those who wanted to chase their dreams.
The exhibition also featured a poetry book curated by Tiffany Darmosusilo, which was written by young orphans and took the theme of dreams.
This year’s art exhibition created a mosaic of dreams through artwork, showcasing the diverse hopes and aspirations that thrive among the youth.
Asmaraloka Chapters collaborated with World Harvest, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering communities through education, healthcare and economic opportunities, donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the exhibition to the Sponsor the Child program.
“The initiative directly supports underprivileged children in Indonesia by providing them with quality education and character development,” the groups said in the statement.
