Mulyana: Vital Ecosystems

The museum's Featured Exhibition Gallery will be transformed into an imaginative underwater landscape inspired by Indonesia's stunning coral reef ecosystem. In this immersive installation, visitors will encounter hundreds of textile corals, fish, and other aquatic life. Varying in size and complexity, these sculptures were hand-knit and crocheted using repurposed materials by the acclaimed fiber artist Mulyana. The exhibition is organized into sections that illustrate the impact of climate change on a coral reef ecosystem, with the initial vibrant reef turning white to represent corals that have experienced a mass bleaching event.
