Central Javanese wayang kulit is a form of shadow puppet theater that brings ancient stories to life through intricately carved leather puppets, vibrant live gamelan music, and the masterful storytelling of the dalang (puppet master). A tradition that dates back centuries and portrays the epic stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata, wayang kulit blends mythology, philosophy, and humor into an immersive performance that captivates audiences of all ages. Rarely experienced outside of Indonesia, this is a truly immersive performance you won’t want to miss!

Los Angeles-based artist Shirley Tse (b.1968) works in sculpture, installation, photography, and text. She deconstructs our world of synthetic objects that carry paradoxical meanings and constructs different models in which differences might come together. Various strategies of visualising heterogeneity are used: conflating different scales, fusing the organic with the industrial, crossing between the literal and the metaphorical, merging different narratives, and collapsing the subject and object relationship. Tse received a Master of Fine Arts from ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena and Bachelor of Arts degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong Department of Fine Arts. Tse represented Hong Kong at the 58th Venice Biennale. Her work is featured in many articles, catalogues, and publications including "Akademie X: Lessons in Art + Life" (2015) and "Sculpture Today" (2007). Tse received the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 2009 and is on faculty at California Institute of the Arts since 2001 where she is Robert Fitzpatrick Chair in Art.
