The Kimberley Indonesia Project
The Kimberley Indonesia Project, funded by the Australia Indonesia Institute, fosters collaboration between Kimberley Aboriginal musicians and Indonesian music practitioners and academics to build a strong foundation for long-term cultural exchange programs between Indonesian and northern Australian artists.
As well as facilitating the creation of new music works and performances, the Kimberley Indonesia Project develops greater cultural understanding and supports the development of individual and institutional relationships that ensures the work from this project will continue to grow across time and regions.
