The International Craft Day (ICD) #4 activity which was held on Wednesday and Thursday, November 15-16, 2023 entitled Craft is All Around with an Exhibition, Fashion Show, Sharing Session, Guest Lecture and Launching the book Craft in Multi Perspective at the Faculty of Fine Arts ISI Yogyakarta. ICD #4 is an annual agenda of the International Craft Department by presenting speakers from partner institutions from within and outside the country. The theme of 2023, Craft is All Around, makes us aware of the presence of craft objects in every aspect of human life which is often not realized by humans. The developments and changes that occur in the realm of craft in the middle of the constellation of the art world are also one of the aspects that cause a shift in the realm of craft. The shift is the expansion of craft objects by occupying outdoor spaces. ICD #4 is more special because it is also a tribute to the memory of Craft Lecturer, Rector of ISI Yogyakarta, Researcher and Entrepreneur Prof. Dr. Timbul Raharjo, M.Hum who has gone before us. The late Prof. Timbul Raharjo was known as one of Indonesia’s pioneering craft figures who created outdoor craft works.
