“The exhibition that involves the Association of Indonesian Recording Media Arts Lecturers (ADSMRI) is themed “The path to creative media—the strengthening of national identity through arts,” said rector I Gede Arya Sugiartha, who was accompanied by ISI Yogyakarta lecturer Alexandri Luthfi on Thursday.
Besides the seven national art colleges, he added, the Malang State Institute, the University of Western Australia (UWA) and the University Teknologi Mara (UTM), which had been ISI’s partners, were also invited to the event.
