From Bandung to Berlin (est. 2014) is a project initiated and conceptualized by Brigitta Isabella and co-authored with various artists and thinkers working on the spatiotemporal and speculative connections of the 1989 Fall of Berlin Wall and the 1955 Bandung Conference. In 2016, From Bandung to Berlin: If all of the moons aligned was elected as the project’s curatorial period that materialized a physical exhibition curated by Brigitta Isabella and Renan Laru-an at SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin. 

In this conversation, co-curator Renan Laru-an endorses the weight of emotion in prospecting the discursive claim of exhibitions. When curating historical themes and subjects, Laru-an invites the public to reflect on the question of alliance and allyship—who do you know and trust?—in mobilizing curatorial agenda and artistic comments beyond their contexts of initiation and discussion.

Renan Laru-an is a researcher.

He creates exhibitionary, public, and research programs that study ‘insufficient’ and ‘subtracted’ images or subjects at the juncture of development and integration projects.

Since 2017 the Public Engagement and Artistic Formation Coordinator of the Philippine Contemporary Art Network (www.pcan.org.ph), Laru-an is co-curator of the 2nd Biennale Matter of Art 2022, Prague, and Curatorial Advisor to the 58th Carnegie International 2022, Pittsburgh.
