About this audio guide
This guide to Taman Ismail Marzuki in Jakarta follows the arts centre's costly rebuilding, begun in twenty nineteen, and a puzzle in the city's own figures about concrete and grass. You'll meet architect Andra Matin, the composer Ismail Marzuki whose name the park carries, and the Betawi batik that turns up in an unexpected place. Best heard standing facing the long, stepped building at the heart of the complex.
