Dark Disco is a collaboration between Eko Nugroho (Story and Drawing) and Terra Bajraghossa (Sound and Animation).

Eko Nugroho works with a diverse range of media, the artist’s comic-inspired work appears in a variety of forms: murals, paintings, drawings, comics, zines, video projection, animation, and large scale embroideries. “It is an ongoing storytelling journey through different medium with different audience at different sites,” he says.

Nugroho is also the founder of Daging Tumbuh (“Growing Skin” or “Tumor”), an independent comic/’zine published via photocopying with a loose collective of friendly collaborators. “Anyone is welcome to contribute, and people are free to reproduce (and even sell) copies on their own.” For Nugroho, photocopying is a way of subverting ownership and “the market,” encouraging a kind of interactive element between artists, art, and readers. “It really doesn’t make any money, but it’s a lot of fun!”
