About the session

The panel discussion will explore the transformative power of art in fostering inclusivity and empowering people with disabilities. Moderated by Amanda Ariawan from Indonesia Contemporary Art and Design, the session will kick off with a keynote where Amanda reflects on how her participation in the UNLIMITED 2024 delegation has influenced her curatorial practice. This will be followed by the screening of Convergence of Grace: Uniting Worlds Through Dance, a compelling dance documentary that transcends traditional boundaries and celebrates inclusive art forms. After the screening, Amanda will lead a conversation (with Imaniar Rizki, Sukri Budi Dharma, and Dibal Ranuh) to explore the role of disability arts in driving cultural change.
