Explore how nature, multisensory, and architecture came into one. Join Museum MACAN’s conversation to take a closer look behind the creative process of Children's Art Space: UMA with Ibu Arsitek!
A Day with Ibu Arsitek! is a part of Museum MACAN Children's Art Space public program – Ibu Aristek: UMA.
Through presentation sessions and casual discussion, the audience will have the opportunity to learn more about the creative process behind UMA, which emerges as a bridge that connects humans and nature, urban and rural, ancestors and successors, tradition and innovation. How children can explore a room full of diversity of traditional architecture, landscapes, plants, animals, and even their five senses.

The next session will be continued by Osrithalita Gabriela, Anissa Santoso, Fauzia Evanindya, Founder and team of Ibu Arsitek, who will share their experiences about the artistic process behind the Children's Art Space: UMA and their experiences working as a cross-generational community of women architects in Indonesia.

Ibu Arsitek is a cross–generational community of Indonesian women architects, initiated on the Indonesian Mother’s Day, 22 December 2018. Ibu Arsitek serves as a home that connects and supports women who love and build a career in architecture, aware of the challenges and stigma of women in the workforce, including the pressure to choose between career and family.
Representation is very important in championing the position of women in architecture. Over time, more women have taken leadership roles in architecture firms. These diverse practices create new opportunities for individuals and collectives to involve women, a breakthrough for an industry that has long been dominated by men. Ibu Arsitek is hopeful this number will increase in the future and the sustainability of Ibu Arsitek is anticipated to bring meaningful impact for an inclusive and accessible architecture landscape for all.
