Assisting for “Kepingan Kisah Nusantara” photo exhibition with Unit Fotografi UGM

I have been asked to help assist a number of Unit Fotografi UGM members who recently went to Student Community Service / Community Empowerment Learning (Kuliah Kerja Nyata), who wishes to present photographs they had taken while they were there in an exhibition. I helped editing their photographs, also making sequences for the exhibition.

Nadya Ajlina went to North Toraja in South Sulawesi (Celebes), Deano Damario went to East Kutai in East Kalimantan (Borneo), Pandhit Pringgo Harjo went to Banggai Islands in Central Sulawesi, Fenni Nursita Sari went to Manggarai in East Nusa Tenggara, while Tria Baeti Setiadini went to Pulo Breueh in Aceh.

The exhibition will take place at Kelas Pagi Yogyakarta’s gallery, Monday to Wednesday, 3–5 December 2018. Opening reception on Monday 7 pm.
