@america
If you are looking for a place that feels more lively than a usual library or cultural center, @america can be a great choice.
By Meysa Khadizah • April 24, 2023
@america is the American Center of the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia, located on the third floor of Pacific Place Mall in Jakarta.
PDS H.B. Jassin has been an important part of Indonesian literary history for a long time. It started from the literary collection of H.B. Jassin, a well-known Indonesian literary figure, and later became a documentation center from many Indonesian writers.
Since opening in December 2018, @america has hosted thousands of programs and welcomed millions of visitors.
It is part of a network of 13 American Spaces across Indonesia that inspire learning and connect communities.
