Bercerobong

Bercerobong is a collaboration between:

Eko Nugroho (Story & drawing), Berbudi (Animation & Sound, Tee (Editing)

Eko Nugroho is a younger member of the artistic and intellectual community that centres on the vibrant central Java city of Yogyakarta in Indonesia. He works in diverse media, creating paintings, murals, videos, handmade zines with collage and drawings, and he also collaborates with local machinists to produce beautiful embroideries.

Nugroho’s grasp of a range of graphic techniques and technologies is impressive but also typical of Indonesia’s media-rich and politically savvy young artists. Indonesians live in a climate that has been politically charged for decades, but it has also become increasingly open and dynamic since the democratic reforms of the past decade. His zine, Daging Tumbuh (literally 'Diseased Tumour'), has been produced since 2000 with the assistance of a loose collective of friends, and addresses many topical issues — it is also extremely funny and personal.
