Artists
Adi Dharma (aka. Stereoflow)
Born 1982, Adi Dharma (a.k.a Stereoflow) started doing graffiti in the late 90s and is heavily influenced by the hip-hop culture. He pursued a professional career around 2008 producing works such as murals, paintings, sculptures and installations. He has exhibited works in France, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, United States, Canada and Australia. In Indonesia, he has participated in prestigious exhibitions such as Biennale Jogja and ICAD. Also he has done many commission work with many well known brands throughout Indonesia and Asia.
As his visual style continues to evolve, his graffiti background somehow remains visible in his now more contemporary abstract works. Adi simply hopes people can feel more of the visual vibes rather than questioning the meaning. It is the same when listening to music. just listen and enjoy, he says.

Alexander Sebastianus
Alexander Sebastianus Hartanto (b. 1995) sees ethnographic research as an experiential mode of existence. His works explore the decontextualization of material cultures and how they are perceived, understood and ritualized in practice. For Sebastianus, decolonizing the ontologies of art is to reclaim Sani, a way of living that involves offering, service and search of the unknown. Such a practice leads to a recreation of pilgrimages, sacred spaces and woven cloths, all of which may or may not be archived, documented or shared. In Sani, what is left are remnants and evidence of materials.
A. Sebastianus Hartanto is an artist who achieved the William Daley Award for Excellence in Art History and Craft in 2017. Trained as an apprentice in his grandmother’s hometown in East Java, he mastered the art of weaving, which has become essential in his exploration of visual and material ontology. Currently he works at Rumah Sukkha Citta in Java as an ethnographer and developer of textile crafts.
Anastasia Astika
(b. Indonesia,1995)
Anastasia Astika, atau akrab dipanggil Tika, merupakan seniman Bandung yang berkarya lewat seni grafis dan kertas sebagai medium utamanya. Ia merupakan lulusan Program Studi Seni Rupa dari Institut Teknologi Bandung sejak tahun 2018. Selama studinya di ITB, ia menumbuhkan ketertarikan pada cetak dalam (intaglio), terutama dry point, etsa, dan aquatint. Teknik-teknik tersebut dikenal sebagai proses yang kompleks dan membutuhkan ketelitian, yang melibatkan berbagai reaksi kimia untuk menorehkan citraan yang diinginkan pada pelat logam serta mengandalkan sensibilitas dan pengetahuan seniman tentang material. Proses seni grafis telah membawanya pada pengalaman yang kontras antara meluapkan energi kreatifnya dan mengikuti prosedur yang ketat, antara mengeksplorasi bentuk organik dan menyusun komposisi yang detail. Dalam seri karya terbarunya, Tika menitikberatkan gagasannya pada aktivitas mengumpulkan fragmen memori personalnya yang melihat hubungan antara dirinya dan objek-objek keseharian di sekitarnya.
