Performance Title: Sajja
Bio:
Henri Affandi (b. 1998, Indonesia) is a conceptual artist based between Jakarta and Bandung,
Indonesia. Affandi’s practice and research explore themes such as anti-imperialism,
post-colonial identity, migration, and indigenous liberation. Weaving symbols and metaphors into
the material, Affandi creates layers of contextual socio-political commentaries rooted in history
and ethnography that the viewers may observe, uncover, and decipher.
Affandi seeks to reclaim the art space as an act of decolonisation and resistance against
oppression, utilising contemporary tools of art-making such as performance and installations.
Employing a language that is both poetic and provocative, Affandi’s art encapsulates their
long-standing commitment to amplify the voices of marginalised communities, reminding the
viewers of their perseverance and defiance both in the past and present.
Affandi earned First Class Honours in BA(Hon) Fine Art: Painting from Wimbledon College of
Arts in 2021. Their works have been featured internationally, including solo exhibitions at The
Art House London (2023) and Huxley-Parlour Gallery (2022); group exhibitions and
performances at ArtMoments Jakarta (2025), Christie’s London (2023), Indonesian
Contemporary Art Design (2022) and Museum de Lakenhal (2019), to name a few. Affandi was
also selected as a finalist for the Ingram Prize (2024), winner of Fourbythree Award (2022), and
longlisted for the 7th Bandung Contemporary Arts Awards (2022).
Concept:
Inspired by the idea of service, this performance reimagines nasi tumpeng not as food to be consumed, but as soil, fertilizer, seeds, and plants to be cultivated. The work reminds us that caring for the earth is also a form of offering and repair.
