Jatiwangi art Factory (JaF) is an artistic collective of over fifty multimedia artists, musicians, designers and curators who work out of a former clay tile factory in Jatisura, Indonesia. JaF’s artistic practice emphasizes local rural life in relation to land and the terracotta industry in the Jatiwangi District. Clay is central to all their artistic and cultural activities in the spirit of community empowerment. Since 2005, JaF’s projects have ranged in scale, from small to large collaborations together with local villagers, collaborators abroad and visiting artists-in-residence who come to work with JaF in Jatiwangi as well as on reciprocal projects, where the collective travels internationally. JaF’s art praxis range from visual art to video, exhibition curation, radio broadcasting, educational programming and music featuring terracotta ensemble, Lair, all of which are grounded in material practices formed from clay.
