In Indonesia, a country where over 39 million people live
in extreme
poverty under poor governance and corruption while
struggling with
severe environmental issues, it is very common for artists
to take a
political stand through their art. Young artists often use
the print
medium next to their main medium (painting, sculpture,
installation,
video etc…) because it is an affordable and easy way to
produce,
distribute and market their art.

The young artists of Atap Alis (translates 'from the
eyebrow up') work
together through mediums such as murals, posters and
t-shirts to raise
awareness about social and environmental issues. They also
work on a
voluntary basis with street children in their local
community by
organizing print and paint workshops, as well as teaching
them
English.

All proceedings from work sold during the exhibition will
go directly
to the Atap Alis community, to help them continue the much
needed work
they do. T-shirts, especially designed for the exhibition
by Finnish
artist Sandra Nyberg, will also be sold to support the
cause.
