The Jakarta International Photo Summit – JIPS #3: City of Waves

in the third edition of this triennale, JiPS 2014, both the National Gallery of Indonesia and Galeri Foto Jurnalistik Antara attempt to position the theme of ‘maritime’ and ‘global maritime’ as a way to look at diversity within our own society, as well as to look at the universal maritime tradition as rumah betang — a house of peace, a meeting place of diverse ideas and commitments for a better and wiser future of our seas.
“City of Waves” is a meeting place of works by around seventy six Indonesian photographers and thirteen foreign photographers. Here we will see the visual expression of the issue close to the artists and photographers.

Lola Amaria Production, in cooperation with the Government of Australia, through the Australia and Indonesia Partnership for Maternal and Neonatal Health (AIPMNH), have produced a documentary film Inerie (Mama Cantik), shot in Ngada Province, East Nusa Tenggara, in the village of Tololela, Bajawa, on Flores island. The films is a realistic and dramatic retelling of the challenges faced by communities in remote places, as they try to secure safe childbirth for both mother and baby.
