Dian Arumningtyas is a researcher and curator based in Bandung, Indonesia. I met her through certain cultural meeting in Tottori while she has been in Japan for around two months to research artist-in-residence programs in the country. It was very insightful and fruitful to hear her opinions about the situation she has observed in each region and comparison of them with those in Bandung.
Considering programming, resources, and network expansion, this event will share the strategic planning applied to Indeks, an art initiative based in Bandung, as a case study. To provide a little objective outlook as a context, Dian will also share her subjective observation of the art ecosystem in Bandung in the past ten years.

Dian Arumningtyas (researcher/curator/program director for Indeks)
Dian Arumningtyas is a researcher and curator who works closely with topics related to cultural mobility, community involvement in artistic instruments, and textual reading through archives and library collections. Her long-term research project dissects how artist-in-residence programs become a cultural strategy driven by the governmental and funders' agendas to develop and revitalize communities. She is interested in delving into power relations and the agency of the local community to be equally active in shaping the culture.
Recent projects that Dian has been working on: co-curating "Post-Localization Syndrome" with Barim-Gwangju supported by Korean Foundation for International Culture Exchange (2022); co-developing a curatorial workshop with Goethe-Institut Bandung (2022); contributing an essay on an anthology publication—focusing on mother artists' perspective in residency programs (2021); and having granted as a fellow for the Ishibashi Foundation–the Japan Foundation Research on Japanese Art (2020). She is currently working as a program director for Indeks.
