Australian festival at TIM

The Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) arts center in Central Jakarta will hold an Australian cultural festival from June 13 to July 3.

The festival will be opened by Coordinating Minister for Industry and Trade Hartarto.

The festival is being held in conjunction with the Australia Today Indonesia '94 exhibition, which will present several Australian cultural performances.

Festival coordinator Pia Alisjahbana was quoted by Antara as saying that the festival will allow culture buffs a chance to taste Australian civilization.

Though most the presentations will be held at TIM, a number of activities such as a jewelry and photography exhibition will be displayed at the National Museum.(mds)
