The Indonesian Institute of the Arts Bali (Institut Seni Indonesia Bali/ISI Bali) welcomed a delegation from the Seoul Institute of the Arts, South Korea, on Wednesday (14 January), at the Nata Widya Sabha Hall, ISI Bali. The visit marked an important milestone in strengthening international academic networks through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two institutions.
The delegation was led by the President of the Seoul Institute of the Arts, Prof. Chang Ji Hun, accompanied by the Dean of Planning, Koh Joo Won; the Dean of Academic Affairs, Kim Dokyun; the Dean of External Relations, Kim Ji Young; and a staff member of External Relations, Kim Sarang.
The delegation was formally received by the Rector of ISI Bali, Prof. Dr. Wayan ‘Kun’ Adnyana, together with the Vice Rectors, the Director of the Graduate Program, the Dean of the Faculty of Performing Arts, the Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, and the Coordinator of International Affairs of ISI Bali.
Cooperation between ISI Bali and the Seoul Institute of the Arts has been established since 2017. This collaboration has been realized, among others, through the invitation of an ISI Bali faculty member, Dr. I Made Sidia, to deliver instruction on Balinese arts at the Seoul Institute of the Arts, including Balinese gamelan and traditional Balinese dance.
During this visit, the Seoul Institute of the Arts invited ISI Bali to collaborate in the CultureHub Korea program. This initiative is designed to expand the creative practices of students and faculty members while fostering an immersive and globally oriented learning environment.
CultureHub Korea focuses on three main components: Creative Production, Research and Development, and Education. Through collaboration with artists from various countries at the Art & Technology Center (ATEC) of the Seoul Institute of the Arts, the program promotes the exploration of advanced technologies to develop innovative new forms of artistic expression.
This collaboration is expected to open opportunities for interdisciplinary partnerships, knowledge exchange, and the sustainable development of culture-based arts and technology between ISI Bali and the Seoul Institute of the Arts. (ISIBALI/Public Relations)
