""" The first Printmaking Today exhibition was held in November-December 2021 as a form of an exhibition of cooperation between Graphic Art Studio Faculty of Fine Arts & Design of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) School of Art. At the first event, the Printmaking Today exhibition was held in Selasar Sunaryo Art Space, as well as displaying graphic arts from lecturers and students from both campuses. Both students and lecturers present the experience of exploring various graphic art techniques. Art, in this case, is indeed based on the experience of techniques. Various techniques in the corridor of the Graphic Art Convention and the possibility of exploration that is exceeding or testing the limits of the convention. Through this exhibition, the audience was invited to look at the graphic arts of these days, which were practiced in Bandung and in Melbourne, represented by lecturers and students in both institutions. Various techniques, print in, high print, flat print, and exploration go beyond technical, demonstrated. In addition to the exhibition, an exhibition tour will also be presented with a guide, print workshop/demonstration, as well as online discussion. Techniques, experiences living it, and the possibilities to surpass it, presented within the scope of graphic art discipline. If this practice is done routinely and consistently; So enrichment of experience can occur not only for artists who explore, but also for audiences. Hopefully this unique experience can be a way to experience art in relation to techniques, discipline, and freedom of expression. """
