Art of Healing
Celebrating doctorSHARE’s 10 years
of legacy, ISA Art & Design organised production of a site-specific commissioned mural with its design generously donated by the British artist of Balinese descent, Sinta Tantra.
The nature of Indonesia’s archipelagic territory of around 17,000 islands separated by bodies of water presents a beautiful challenge especially for people in the rural areas to find healthcare providers due to lack of transport and expensive costs. This was dr Lie Dharmawan’s experience that drove the creation of doctorSHARE, a non- governmental organisation that provides free medical treatments, educates the populace, and works together with local government and healthcare providers to empower existing systems. Its three floating hospitals are sturdy and compact to dock closer to smaller islands, and yet capable of performing advanced operations with many modern technologies; each has also served during natural disasters including the 2018 earthquakes in Palu, Sulawesi, and Lombok, East Nusa Tenggara.
