Cemeti Art House

Cemeti Art House is Indonesia’s oldest platform for contemporary art, founded in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 1988 by artists Mella Jaarsma and Nindityo Adipurnomo. Cemeti offers a platform for artists and cultural practitioners to develop, present and practice their work in close collaboration with curators, researchers, activists, writers and performers, as well as local communities across Yogyakarta. It commits to engage socially and politically engaged artistic practices, exploring the possibility for a gallery to act as a site for civic action.
