TETHER//TAMBATAN IN ARTJOG: ARS LONGA 2026
Through the works and collaborations gathered here, we invite visitors into the conversations, materials, and encounters that shape RAD's everyday practice. We hope that this exhibition becomes a table long enough to hold more stories, more experiences, more possibilities for meeting—and spacious enough to hold the questions that remain unanswered.
Looking Deeper with SOCA: A Medium of Becoming
When visitors step into Soca at RAD, they will find eyes. In fact, they will find many of them. But instead of judging, they simply listen and witness. They remind us that the act of seeing is how we connect with each other and ourselves, and ultimately, how we become.

Friendly Neighbor: Riso Art with RPFF
From 20 March to 10 May 2025, Friendly Neighbor took over the gallery walls at Ruang Arta Derau (RAD) with a dedicated Risograph Art Print Showcase by RPFF. The show is more than just a representation of what debuted at Art Jakarta 2024. It's a chance for the prints—and the stories behind them—to be seen in a more intimate and thoughtful context.
Sopan Santuy: When Tradition Meets Playful Rebellion
You know an exhibition is interesting when the name is as fun to say as it is to experience: Sopan Santuy. This group exhibition features four artists—Arwin Hidayat, Eka Sudarma Putra, Kuncir S.V, and Surya Subratha—who come from different cultural backgrounds but share a common thread: they’re all about honoring traditions and then turning them into something new.
Rizibë: ISLE PROMISE - Only Count The Days That Are Bright
From March to May 2024, Rizibë settled in as our resident artist, diving deep into his creative process and teaming up with some local artisans to bring his ideas to life. It’s his story to share hopes at a turbulence time.
Dive into Arta Derau’s Mermaid-Inspired World
Picture this: a mermaid who doesn’t vanish into sea foam for love, but instead rises from the waves with a fierce sense of self-authority. This is the world that Sekarputi, the artist behind Arta Derau’s signature mermaid ceramics, wants to create. Read more to dive deeper into Sekarputi and Arta Derau’s mermaid inspired world.
