TARING PADI | in conversation with Charles Esche

Taring Padi,  founded in 1988, is a collective based in Yogyakarta Indonesia “that  uses art as a tool for political expression and education for all.”  Against an individualistic and market oriented conception of art, “Most  Taring Padi works are created collectively and can be divided into four  categories: billboards or banners, posters, puppets and popular booklets  titled “Terompet Rakyat” (The People’s Trumpet)”.

Taring Padi, who  was part of the documenta fifteen lumbung, will present its work and  discuss their practices at Sale Docks, in conversation with Charles  Esche, director of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven.
