I am an Indonesian independent researcher and cultural practitioner with a decade of experience across museum programming, curatorial production, and heritage research. My work has been presented at the British Museum, the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial. I have published with iniva and the University of the Arts London, and hold an MA in Social Anthropology from SOAS University of London. I work with arts institutions, researchers, and cultural organisations that need writing and research grounded in both academic rigour and field practice — not generalist content, but specialist output. What I deliver: — Exhibition texts and catalogue essays with analytical depth — Research reports on Southeast Asian art, heritage, and cultural policy — Grant applications and funding narratives for arts and cultural projects — Indonesian–English translation for institutional and academic contexts I have led programmes at Museum MACAN Jakarta, Selasar Sunaryo Art Space, and Art & Bali, and currently advise on curatorial and research projects across Indonesia and internationally. My research specialisation is rematriation, material culture, and decolonial curatorial practice — with active field engagement in Eastern Indonesia. If your project sits at the intersection of culture, heritage, and rigorous writing, we are likely a fit. Reach out with a brief and I will tell you directly whether I can deliver what you need.

As a passionate writer with a proficiency in Microsoft Word, I have cultivated my storytelling skills through active participation in a campus writing organization. In this dynamic environment, I've contributed to the organization by crafting numerous engaging news stories and articles. This experience has not only honed my writing abilities but also allowed me to explore diverse genres and styles, expanding my creative horizons. Through my involvement in crafting news stories and articles, I've developed a keen awareness of current events and an ability to distill complex information into compelling narratives. My dedication to this craft extends beyond the confines of the campus organization, as I continually seek to refine my writing skills and stay attuned to the ever-evolving landscape of storytelling. In addition to my proficiency in Microsoft Word, I am adept at using various tools to enhance the visual and structural aspects of my writing. This multifaceted approach ensures that my stories not only captivate readers through compelling content but also engage them aesthetically. Overall, my journey as a writer within the campus organization has been a fulfilling one, providing me with both the platform and the community to nurture my passion for storytelling. I look forward to continuing this enriching journey, further expanding my skills, and contributing meaningfully to the world of literature and journalism.
