Take a walk through time and space in Asia.

This website is a virtual space replicating collaborative activities by Japan and Southeast Asia's next generation of leaders for artistic exchange. Exploring modernity and art platforms in Asia, the website examines cultural, artistic, and historical relationships in Japan and Southeast Asia through seventy-seven keywords as well as texts, images, videos, music, and interviews.

In this online space, the scattered keywords are loosely linked together and arranged like artworks in an exhibition venue.
The website aims to be an archive that functions as a new form of expression in its own right.

Each keyword is something that captures, from the perspective of the present, the rich accumulation of knowledge gifted to us by our predecessors as a means of thinking about Asian history and culture.
We wander (jalan-jalan) among these, at times making discoveries, at times contemplating, and, before we know it, we further our understanding of the cultures in the region.

The moment has come for our departure. Let’s go for a walk around the time and space of Asia.
