About us
Ratna Mufida, Pitra Hutomo, and Grace Samboh co-initiated Hyphen— in 2011 as a sustainable conversational space regarding aesthetic practices. Not long after, that space expanded through engagement in various artistic activities, including exhibition-making, various forms of publishing, archiving, research, open-ended conversations, karaoke, barbecue nights, feasts, etcetera. Hyphen— aims to put forward curiosity and people’s common wellbeing as the estuary of artistic practices. They were joined by Akmalia Rizqita “Chita” and Rachel K. Surijata (in 2020); as well as Ruhaeni Intan and Andri Setiawan (in 2023).
They currently play with explorations on the practices of Indonesia New Art Movement (1975-1989), Kustiyah (1935-2012), and Danarto (1940-2018); exhibition histories surrounding Kesenian Indonesia (Indonesian Art, 1955), BINAL Experimental Arts (1992), Contemporary Art Exhibition of the Non-Aligned Countries (1995); while attempting to unravel Indonesia’s so-called national history through its official visual representations.

With them, she takes a round-trip journey through the knowledge that are rooted in practices and works of a number of artists in Indonesia from the past. Through this journey, she explores the potential of reading and practicing this knowledge in the context of today’s art practice. Sometimes, she also thinks about the issue of the welfare of art workers in Indonesia.
