A workshop that invites both local and international contemporary artists to process colonial photographs as their inspiration and to discuss possibilities of employing colonial photographs for further artistic explorations.

Invited artists will develop the archives into other artistic forms. These will be showcased in a future exhibition that will bring a richer and new perspective on the historical visual material about cultural issues of late colonialism in Java to a wider public.
