Jakarta’s acclaimed Pantja Bar is raising a glass to its 5th anniversary. Fresh off its #27 ranking on Asia’s 50 Best Bars list, the bar pays homage to the unsung heroes of mixology.

⁣On Saturday, June 27th, Globetrotter Lab hosted a virtual conversation on the global state of black affairs and assembled some brilliant minds to share their perspectives on current happenings regarding the Black Lives Matter protests, its history, cultural context, and why it’s important for Asians, especially Indonesians, to engage.⁣⁣⁣⠀

Despite Jakarta’s proximity to the center of the Black Lives Matter movement that continues to reverberate around the world, Indonesians also resonate with the issue of colorism. Cities across the world continue to stand together in solidarity against global systematic racism.
