Here are a couple of photos from the book launch itself which took place in the pendpopo area outside the gallery and inside the gallery as well, where each of us read a sentence or two from our chapter.
It was a very moving evening with many of Prapto's old friends in attendance, some telling their stories of encounters with Prapto in the distant past. The evening started with a fantastic performance from Prapto's son, Galih's African drumming group, followed by a welcome and opening of the book launch by Prapto's daughter, Melati.
We editors presented a case bound version of the book to Prapto, with the color pictures, which are really beautiful if you haven't seen it yet. Thanks to the contributors for your writing, of course, and for the many messages of support we received leading up to the launch.
I feel the strength and beauty of our network on this last evening in Solo.
