Citra Sasmita
Citra Sasmita is a contemporary artist from Bali whose work focuses on unravelling the myths and misconceptions of Balinese art and culture. She is also deeply invested in questioning a woman’s place in social hierarchy and seeks to upend normative construct of gender. While rooted in mythological thinking with Hindu and Balinese specific references, her practice involves a contemporary process of imagining a secular and empowered mythology for post-patriarchal future. Highlights in her career include being awarded as the Gold Award Winner at UOB Painting of The Year 2017, exhibited at the Biennale Jogja XV (2019) and a solo exhibition ‘Ode to the Sun’ (2020) at Yeo Workshop, Singapore.
Ruth Marbun
Jakarta-based artist Ruth Marbun’s artworks are an ongoing exploration in figurative painting. Her works are simultaneously carefree and full of thoughts – liberated through aesthetic freedom, yet containing a personal narrative, an emotional output that articulate universal human themes. Ruth graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design from Raffles Design Institute (2008), and previously studied in the London College of Fashion, UK. Her latest solo exhibition ‘Terms & Conditions Apply’ was organized by Clear Gallery Tokyo at Art Jakarta (2018), while her previous solos were hosted by Jogja Contemporary, Yogyakarta in 2017 and Suar Artspace, Jakarta in 2015.
Agam Dwi Nurcahyo (Magafaka)
Agam Dwi Nurcahyo, better known as Magafaka, is a Jakarta-based contemporary artist. He graduated from the Fine Art Faculty of Institut Kesenian Jakarta in 2008, majoring in Painting. Since 2009, he uses painting, photography and fashion as media for his works, exploring nuances of sensuality, sarcasm and provocation. Besides working as an artist, he has experience in visual merchandising, a career which allows him to explore his personal branding as visual artist. His studio and store “Magiss Store and Studio” is located in Pasar Santa, Jakarta.
Kandura Studio
Kandura Studio was founded in 2005 by Fauzy, Tisa and Ghia, with Nuri joining in 2010. What started as a pottery studio later transformed into a platform for the quartet to materialize their ideas. The studio’s works ranges from tableware collections for restaurants, wall tile replicas for a museum, to installations for a biennale.
