Jakarta, 24 July 2026 - PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA), through its corporate shared value (CSV) umbrella program Bakti BCA, has reaffirmed its commitment to the national creative industry by supporting the Kawan Nusantara 2026 event. Carrying the theme “Evolusi: Heritage and Craft as a Vessel of Light and Wisdom”, this collaborative event with TULOLA was held at the Nusantara Ballroom, The Dharmawangsa, Jakarta on July 23–24, 2026.
At Kawan Nusantara 2026, BCA presents a creative space collaboration ecosystem that brings together art, culture, crafts, and the innovation of local creators. This year’s exhibition space features installation art resulting from a collaboration between TULOLA and two artists, Trianzani Sulshi and Kadek Dwi Darmawan. Bakti BCA also presents a collection of works from five business entities, including Marista Santividya, Wastraloka, Linette Bag, Wastra Warna Alam, and Bakti BCA Disability MUAs. The products and services of these business players can be found at the Bakti BCA booth.
The opening of Kawan Nusantara 2026 was attended by Founder & Creative Conceptor of TULOLA Happy Salma; Founder, Principal Designer & Creative Director of TULOLA Sri Luce Rusna; EVP Corporate Communication & Social Responsibility of BCA Hera F. Haryn; and Corporate Secretary of PT Pertamina (Persero) Arya Dwi Paramita.
EVP Corporate Communication & Social Responsibility of BCA Hera F. Haryn stated, “BCA, through Bakti BCA, is proud to continue being part of the Kawan Nusantara creative space this year. Multi-stakeholder synergy like this must be maintained so that the richness of Indonesia’s authentic traditions does not merely survive, but is able to adaptively evolve with the times, in line with this year’s theme ‘EVOLUSI’. We are committed to continuing to play an active role as a bridge for our assisted business players in expanding access to more potential markets while spreading positive value from the story of their works' transformation.”
At Kawan Nusantara 2026, the HEROES OF HERITAGE exhibition is also featured, showcasing a collection of works resulting from a collaboration between BCA through Bakti BCA, TULOLA, and two silver artisans from Taro Tourism Village, Bali, namely I Made Suama and I Ketut Arsa Nata. Their works not only reflect ancestral artistic skills, but also demonstrate the depth of cultural values, particularly in crafting pratima (sacred objects). Complementing this collaborative collection is the Keris Pusaka “Keris Wibawa Gunung Raung” from Taro Village by I Komang Sudena, a silver artisan carrying on the tradition of Balinese keris making. The presence of this keris serves as a symbol of respect for Indonesia’s noble cultural heritage, as well as tangible proof that the knowledge and skills of the maestros continue to flow and be passed down from one generation to the next.
Through the Kawan Nusantara 2026 event, BCA hopes that more collaborations will emerge to strengthen the national creative economy ecosystem. The Company consistently encourages the sustainability of local creative business players, expands market access, and provides long-term mentoring.
“This support serves as a tangible expression of BCA’s commitment to creating an inclusive synergy that generates innovative, responsible works that deliver real social impact to the wider community,” added Hera.
In addition to the presence of the Bakti BCA booth and the collection from two silver artisans from Taro Tourism Village, throughout the duration of Kawan Nusantara 2026, BCA is also offering special discounts and 0% installments for transactions across all tenants at Kawan Nusantara 2026, as well as special discounts of up to 20% at Bakti BCA tenants, applicable for payments using Debit and Credit Card BCA.
