ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:

JAYANTO TAN is a Gadigal/Wangal based visual artist who was born and raised in a small town in North Sumatra, Indonesia. His practice draws on his family history and diasporic background, blending Eastern and Western mythologies with the contemporary world and current events.

Using ceramic sculptures, authentic food, performance and installation, his work often investigates how hybrid cultures can create new identities of possibility and hope. He has been a finalist in several art prizes, exhibited widely including solo exhibitions, and works included in group exhibitions across Australia, Europe, China and Indonesia.
