The South Project is a framework for exploring south-south dialogue. Rather than always looking north for ‘international recognition’, the South Project aims to foster lateral exchanges between the re-emergent cultures of the south. The project extends existing cultural relations by activating: short-term residencies for cultural practitioners from Australia and other southern countries in Indonesia; the mutual development of collaborative cultural projects; and focuses on attracting the participation of a wide audience of public, exhibition viewers, workshop participants, students and general public. http://www.southproject.net/south/The_South_Project_Inc.html
