Leonhard BARTOLOMEUS (guest speaker)
Born in 1987. Curator at Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM], Japan. In 2012, after graduating from the Jakarta Institute of Art, he joined ruangrupa (and later on as Gudskul Ekosistem) until his departure to Japan in 2019. His curatorial, teaching, and research activities in recent years started to shift to the intersection between art, education, and community engagement. In 2017, alongside several curators in Jakarta, Semarang, and Surabaya, he co-founded a curatorial collective called KKK (Kolektif Kurator Kampung /Urban Poor Curator). Apart from that, he still devotes himself to independent research and collaborative projects abroad. He lives and works in Yamaguchi, Japan.
