Dilail Abimanyu spoke with Ivan Wijaya, project manager of Nusansastra. This event is a collaboration with Australia-Indonesia Youth Association (AIYA) Victoria.

The event was held to provide an interactive event and facilitate cultural exchange for participants. The speakers presented were people who have long been involved in Indonesian literature.

The format of Nusansastra this year is divided into three sessions: folklore, provervb, and film.
