About this audio guide
This guide to the National Gallery of Indonesia in Jakarta centres on one evening in December twenty twenty-four, when guests came to the opening of Yos Suprapto's solo show about land and food sovereignty. It follows a painter from Yogyakarta, a curator with a list, and a dispute over which pictures a national gallery will hang. Along the way it touches on the building's own past as a colonial home and a school. Best heard out front, facing the main building.
