Meet Colours of Indonesia.

From Indonesia, Colours of Indonesia brings together Ibu Indira Cestra Soerojo, a natural pigment artist exploring earth-based colours from rocks, soil, and plants, and Mbak Eivria Ardianti, an interdisciplinary artist whose work reflects sensory experience and emotional states.

Together, their practices connect nature, material, memory, and perception through pigment, textiles, and sensory expression.

Kenali Colours of Indonesia.

Dari Indonesia, Colours of Indonesia menghimpunkan Ibu Indira Cestra Soerojo, seniman pigmen semula jadi yang meneroka warna dari mineral, tanah dan tumbuhan, serta Mbak Eivria Ardianti, seniman interdisiplin yang mengkaji pengalaman deria dan emosi.

Bersama, karya mereka menghubungkan alam, bahan, memori dan persepsi melalui pigmen, tekstil dan ekspresi deria.

Kami berbesar hati mengalu-alukan Ibu Indira dan Mbak Eivria ke Jalinan Borneo 2026.

A celebration of ASEAN heritage through the language of songket, Achiek Waves is one of a series of textile art pieces inspired by the diverse cultures of the region.

Completed in 2014 and installed at Menara CIMB (CIMB Malaysia), KL Sentral, the work draws inspiration from the iconic Acheik designs of Amarapura, Myanmar, traditionally worn as the male paso and female htamein. Reinterpreted in handwoven songket, it reflects the rich cultural connections that weave across ASEAN.

Designed by Dr June Ngo (June Ngo) in collaboration with Cult Gallery (CULT Gallery), and handwoven by Syamimi Razali using metallic Lurex threads on fine filament silk, Achiek Waves is a tribute to craftsmanship, cultural exchange, and CIMB’s presence across the region.
