Essential Jakarta

Established in 2009, it is the first and only annual exhibition that unites Indonesia’s top creators to promote their local wisdom under a contemporary context. Marking a decade of their success, while celebrating the splendid culture of Betawi people as Jakarta’s “native” inhabitants, Essential Jakarta sets off as ICAD’s second representation and the first Indonesian Pavilion in the Superdesign Show. This edition is mainly supported by the Jakarta Capital City Government under the Department of Tourism and Culture.
