16albermarle Project Space and the National Art School present Disruption: Discourse and Exchange, an exhibition displaying prints from four art schools across the region. The Disruption print folio highlights the importance of printmaking as a form of communication, particularly during the COVID-19 era. It emerged as a collaborative effort to exchange ideas and overcome pandemic-related challenges. By exploring the tactile certainty of printmaking, the folio emphasises the continued relevance of this traditional art form amidst today's digitally-dominated landscape. The participating institutions are Institut Seni Indonesia Surakarta, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, National Art School, and Queensland College of the Arts. These prints not only showcase the research and artistic practice in the Asia Pacific region but also transcend national and cultural borders, showcasing how print can have a significant political, social and conceptual impact.
