The Fruit That I’ve Become is a celebration of unfolding—of Yessiow’s journey as an artist, a daughter, and a woman. Rooted in the dual heritage of Java and Bali, and shaped through a decade of global mural-making, this solo exhibition explores selfhood through playful, symbolic forms. With fruit as metaphor and family as medium, these works are a collaboration not only of paint and yarn, but of memory and love. At its heart, the exhibition honours process, perseverance, and the quiet strength of coming home to oneself.

Nonfrasa is delighted to announce its inaugural participation in Chapter Jogja 2025.

Filippo Sciascia and Ida Bagus Punia examine the processes of collecting and transmitting order and chaos within their practices, reflecting on learning as an evolving exploration of form and meaning in their painting.

Curated by Gatari Surya Kusuma, featuring Betty Susiarjo, Chiara Hardy, Galih Adika, Ida Bagus Punia, Lintang Diani, Nani Wijaya, Nyoman Arisana, Rega Ayundya, Restu Ratnaningtyas, Talisa Dwiyani, and Piki Suyersa.

For Gusti Kade, sewing fabric is an act of connecting personal and narrative meanings. It reveals how he reinterprets his cultural heritage and childhood experiences through material exploration. He stitches memories and spirituality into abstract forms, creating a new visual language that, while not literal, is rich with cultural and emotional resonance. The 'Tusuk Kusut' exhibition itself is a reflective projection of this meditative encounter between memory and transformation.
