On Tour in Jakarta
Nikki Bedi is on stage in Indonesia, to find out how the one of the world鈥檚 most diverse nations comes together through arts and culture.
Indonesia鈥檚 brightest talents from music, film and literature join Nikki Bedi to share their views on how a country of many cultures, languages and faiths comes together through its arts and how its artists balance freedom of expression and censorship.
Nikki is joined on stage by the pioneering director Nia Dinata, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Arisan!, widely recognised as Indonesia鈥檚 first film focusing on the country鈥檚 LGBTQ+ community.
One of Indonesia鈥檚 best-selling writers Asma Nadia talks about how her faith shapes her writing.
The acclaimed comedian and free speech advocate Sakdiyah Ma鈥檙uf discusses the role of comedy in challenging social taboos.
We explore issues of censorship and freedom of expression and hear from one of Indonesia鈥檚 leading pop stars Pamungkas about his experience of facing a national social media backlash following a controversial stage performance.
Plus there will also be a live music and insight into Jakarta鈥檚 music scene from hip-hop super group Punokawan.
