Deborah Iskander, founder of ISA Art Gallery in Jakarta, launched the gallery's latest exhibition titled 'Biophilia' at its location in Wisma BNI 46. The gallery, established in 2014, has focused on exhibiting women artists and diaspora Indonesian artists since 2021. The exhibition continues this curatorial direction, featuring works that explore the connection between nature and human experience.
The exhibition matters because it highlights ISA Art Gallery's role in Jakarta's art scene, particularly its commitment to promoting women and diaspora artists. By hosting both gallery exhibitions and managing art fairs in Jakarta and Singapore, Deborah Iskander has created a platform that bridges local and international art markets, making contemporary art more accessible to collectors in Southeast Asia.
