Jakarta, October 2022 — This year's Indonesian Contemporary Art and Design (ICAD) 12 theme was "Fragmenting Yesterday, Reshaping Tomorrow," with the goal of understanding the process of social development while exploring the relationship between the past and the future. This topic is inextricably linked to the pandemic as a collective memory that has affected all of us. According to the ICAD 12 Curatorial Team's notes,
Explorations of the post-pandemic world of design and art.
[ICAD invited creatives to respond to its main theme, “Fragmenting Yesterday, Reshaping Tomorrow”.
“Within the realities of social issues offered through the featured works, we encounter the participants’ critical view and imagination. Through this exhibition, we discover various opinions from the participants, ranging from humorous to political and analytical to speculative; their ideas contribute to a spectrum of knowledge and discussion on timely topics surrounding the environment, history, technology, and civilisation.”
COLLABORATION
ICAD 12 will feature a variety of works that demonstrate innovation in the exploration of alternative materials, such as PLAYO's architectural exhibition using bio-based materials in collaboration with Erasmus Huis and the results of a British Council-initiated design workshop focused on sustainable materials. Other works bring the subject of inclusivity, such as Tactogram, which presents its original universal navigation system to support accessibility for the blind, and Tab Space, with young artists and illustrators with disabilities, use the concept of "open studio" to demonstrate a collaborative process in producing works.
Collaborative works are also featured in the Kemendikbudristek Immersive Box, which displays a variety of cultural heritage and installations of MSME products in collaboration with a design studio.
Kemang 12730, ICAD's first district event in Indonesia since 2021, will also return this year. ICAD reintroduced the Kemang area of South Jakarta as a design and art district in Jakarta through this region-based festival. More than 50 venues in the Kemang area will participate in a variety of interesting programs, including exhibitions, workshops, special menu displays,product launches, special discounts, and public weekend markets.
ICAD recognizes the importance of maintaining synergy among creative practitioners, communities, industry, education centers, and the government in developing and sustaining Indonesia's creative economy ecosystem. This year, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenparekraf) chose ICAD as one of the top five official agenda items for the Kharisma Event Nusantara (KEN) 2022.

In addition to the exhibition, ICAD 12 features eight (8) sessions of talkshow programs, workshops, and masterclass, all of which are co-hosted by creative practitioners, associations, and foreign cultural centers. Koalisi Seni, MPA (Motion Picture Association), and Ganara Art, an arts and cultural education institution focusing on arts management and creative curriculum, are among ICAD's partners in this year's program.
ICAD continues to develop its partners through consistency and a long journey full of ideas, flavours, and exchanges, one of which is by beginning to collaborate with community partners outside of design and art. We hope to be a leading platform in bringing together design, art, and other disciplines by continuing to inspire and facilitate designers, artists, and other creative economy practitioners in the country.
