First, the nails. Then, the threads.

Guests began by hammering used nails into the board, following a pattern we had marked beforehand.

Later, we connected the nails with leftover yarns — letting the Globe, Open Chain and WiFi motifs slowly appear.

What began as three separate patterns became one interconnected drawing.

We then brought the same idea back into Batik, hand-drawing the motifs together to create a new pattern.

The process is part of the artwork.

One Idea. Multiple expressions.

For Redefining Connections, we translated our three Batik motifs — Globe, Open Chain and WiFi, originally developed as a language of connection — from textile into a participatory artwork.

Guests hammered used nails into marked positions on the board. We later connected them with yarn, allowing the three motifs to emerge.

The leftover Batik and textile scraps became pouches.

One idea. Different materials. Different hands. Different forms.

This is how we redefine connections.

Before something new can begin, we need to take a closer look at what we already have.

These are the fabric scraps left over from making our collections. Different patterns, different colours, different quantities. Some pieces are small, others large enough to become something else.

We sort them by pattern and colour, place them in boxes, and mark each box with a little fabric swatch. It’s a simple process, but an important one. Before we can imagine what these pieces might become — another product, an artwork, or something we haven’t thought of yet — we need to know what we have.

We always felt that the end of one thing doesn’t have to mean the end of its story.

These fabrics were made with skill, time and care. We don’t want their story to stop just because they no longer fit into the original design.

So this is where the next chapter begins. Not with a finished idea, but with a little curiosity and the willingness to look at things differently.

Because sometimes, creating something new starts with learning to see what we already have.

What remains when the current has passed?

In Bekti Istiwayah’s „Traces That Are Entangled“, the answer lies not in words, but in what the floods leaves behind. Net-like fabric. Roots. Pieces of wood. Fragments caught, tangled and held back as the current moves on.

This is not simply a work about disaster. It reflects on the limits of what we can control — and the moment we recognise that not everything is ours to decide.

The entangled roots evoke the inseparable bond between nature, human life and forces beyond our control. Bekti creates a silent space, not to explain loss, but to sit with it. To consider what can be recovered, what must be released, and what remains beyond our grasp.

Alia. Ma’rifatul. Kemala. Noni. Four women came to see the exhibition. And they left a piece of themselves behind.

They arrived curious and left reconnected. They walked through the rooms. They stopped at the works that speak of repair — the fringes that became cloth again, the baskets that once carried flowers, the masks that keep some things hidden and reveal others. They asked questions. They listened.

Before, they picked up the hammer. Their nails are on the board now, alongside every mark left by every guest who came before them. The globe. The open chain. The wifi. Their marks have joined the pattern. Permanently.

Tari walked with them - sharing the stories behind — not as a guide, but as someone who helped make them. This is what the exhibition was always meant to be. A place that keeps a piece of you — a nail, a wish, a stone, a signature — and holds it alongside everyone else’s.

Alia, Ma’rifatul, Kemala, Noni — your marks are here now. Thank you for coming.

And then, the drawing began.

After the tour and the conversation, we invited everyone to slow down and pick up a pencil. Not to make art. To make a record. A mark. A moment.

The subject was Candi Sari — the ancient Buddhist temple that stands just beside ohmmstay. A structure built over a thousand years ago, its stones still holding the silence of another time. A place of worship, of gathering, of connection long before any of us arrived.

Artists and guests sat together. Some drew quickly. Some sat for a long time, looking before making a single line. Some sketched the temple’s silhouette. Others drew the shapes of the stones, the sky above, the trees framing the view.

No one was judging. No one was comparing. Everyone was simply seeing — really seeing — what has stood beside us all along.

This was the final act of How to Repair Lost Connections. Not a lecture. Not a performance. Just a group of people, sitting together, drawing a temple that has witnessed centuries of connection and repair.

Thank you to everyone who came. To those who drew. To those who watched. To those who simply sat in the presence of the stones.

The exhibition remains open until 15 November. Come and see what repair looks like — and perhaps leave a mark of your own.

After the walk, the conversation began.

On 25 September, as part of How to Repair Lost Connections, curators Sudjud Dartanto and Satya Brahmantya sat down together for a talk on textile art and the act of repair.

Two different perspectives. One thinker, one maker. One who studies representation, one who has spent a lifetime shaping objects with his hands. Together, they explored how the Empu collective repair lost connections — not by hiding the damage, but by transforming it.

They spoke about scraps that become new fabric. About fringes that were never meant to be used, now holding a cloth together. About dye samples that give voice to the invisible labour behind Batik. About masks that repurpose fabric to explore what we protect and what we reveal.

The conversation kept returning to a single idea: connection is not something we find. It is something we make — again and again, with our hands and our hearts. Repair is not about erasing the past. It is about weaving it into something new.

Thank you to Sudjud and Bram for their insights. And to everyone who came, listened, and asked questions.

The exhibition remains open until 15 November. Come and see what repair can look like.

Before the conversations, before the drawing, there was the walk.

On 25 September, as part of „How to Repair Lost Connections“, the artists of Empu Gampingan and curator heyyjudd led our guests through the exhibition. Not as guides. As storytellers.

They stopped at each work and shared the process behind it. How scraps were reconnected. How broken pieces were repurposed. How lost connections were repaired — not by hiding the damage, but by transforming it.

Every stop was a quiet lesson in reconnection. The baskets that once carried flowers to graves, now carrying life. The Baduy fringes that became a new fabric. The dye samples that give new life to the invisible labour of Batik.

Each work is a testament to the idea that repair is not about erasing the past. It is about weaving it into something new.

The tour reminded us that connection is not something we find. It is something we make — again and again, with our hands and our hearts.

Thank you to the artists who shared their time and their stories. And to everyone who walked with us.

The exhibition remains open until 15 November. Come and see what repair can look like.

The wifi motif — Rhythm & Revelry — in single dye Jalawe brown. The signal that usually travels unseen through the air, now grounded in the bark of a tree.

There is something beautiful in the contradiction. The motif that speaks of digital connection, of music, of invisible signals — rendered in the oldest material we have. No screen. No light. Just cloth, dye, and the steady rhythm of hands.

The signal is still there. It just travels differently now.
