Pop by The Arts House for a curated Indonesian-focused programme as part of the Singapore Writers Festival 2015. A nation of 17,000 odd islands that began its journey as a modern state 70 years ago, Indonesia carries millennia of historical weight, contradictions and resolution. Expend your creativity and take part in programmes including a keynote speech, panel discussions and performances featuring renowned and award-winning authors and performers like Goenawan Mohamad, Agustinus Wibowo and Ubiet.

17,000 Islands Dreaming is happening at The Arts House from Friday, 30 October 2015 to Monday, 9 November 2015 at various times. Tickets are required, available via [SISTIC](http://sistic.com.sg/).
