Spotlight:
NPAAW

10:00am—10:50am

What does it mean to honor tradition while creating something entirely new? At first glance, it’s spray paint, tape, and bold design. But look closer—NPAAW's art is woven with deeper layers, from Poleng cloth to Rangrang tapestry, pulling his heritage into the present moment.

Print Matters:
AGUGN & Januar Rianto

11:20am—12:10pm

What do zines, risograph, and artist collectives have in common? They’re reshaping how Indonesia tells stories locally and globally. It’s not just print—it’s punk, poetry, politics—it’s tactile publishing in the digital era.
