Artist Talk: On the Nature of Botanical Gardens
Join us for a conversation between the curator and featured artists from the exhibition On the Nature of Botanical Gardens. As we approach the end of the exhibition, the participants look back at their involvement within the exhibition.
As On the Nature of Botanical Gardens comes to a close on 16th August 2020, we invite the artists to reflect on their work within the context of the exhibition and the shared history between Indonesia and the Netherlands.
