The Utan Kayu International Literary Biennale
In 2001, Komunitas Utan Kayu hosted an unprecedented international literary event with authors and poets from Indonesia and nine other nations performing for audiences in Jakarta and Yogyakarta. The 2001 program was a collaboration between KUK and Winternachten of the Hague, Netherlands.

In each location, Indonesian authors and those from out of the country presented a dynamic reading of their work and held discussions with the audience. The work of the foreign authors were translated to Indonesian for the audience and projected on a screen while they read. Similarly, for the foreign participants, Indonesian work is translated to English. A compilation of all works read during the festival is given to audience members in two languages, Indonesian and English.

There have been further events in 2003, 2005 and 2007.
