Cuturi Paris Showcases Five Indonesian Artists Curated by Alia Swastika

The third exhibition at Cuturi in Paris showcases five Indonesian artists, curated by Alia Swastika, who is the director of the Biennale Jogja. This exhibition delves into themes of ancestry through various materials and imaginaries. Established in Singapore in 2019, Cuturi has been dedicated to promoting emerging Southeast Asian talents and initiated a residency program in 2020. In March 2026, a new venue opened in Paris, expanding its global reach, with off-site exhibitions in London beginning in 2022. Swastika, a graduate of Gadjah Mada University, has spent ten years focusing on decoloniality and feminism, previously directing the Ark Galerie and co-curating significant biennials. Her 2019 research on Indonesian women artists highlights the resilience of indigenous arts in a globalized context.
