Indonesia Rising: What does it mean to be Indonesian?

Indonesia is one of Australia's nearest neighbours but the nature of its people, art and culture remain a mystery to many.

In the fourth instalment of Global Roaming's Indonesia Rising, hosts Hamish Macdonald and Geraldine Doogue leave the politics behind for a deeply personal insight into Indonesian identity and the country's rich history of literature, poetry and art.

Guest: Laksmi Pamuntiak, Indonesian poet and novelist.
