Kartika
suharto-martin
Kartika is an interdisciplinary artist, musician, and experienced arts educator based in Marrickville on Gadigal land.
Her creative practice is informed by her Javanese heritage and classical music education at the Conservatorium High School of Music, with her work investigating the fluidity between identity, memory, nostalgia and interests in shared personal history through collaboration between family members and connecting with the Indonesian diaspora.
Kartika will lead the workshops and draw on artist Jason Phu's practice to inspire students' creativity.

BOO! parade workshops
Join Kartika for an exciting series of workshops at Erskineville Public School, where students will explore the natural and spirit worlds by creating their own characters and spirit avatars through mask-making, costumes, instruments, and music.
Using cardboard, textiles, upcycled materials, and objects, students will develop their ideas and creativity in two 2-hour onsite workshops before showcasing their final creations and music performances in a lively parade at the Sound out the Street.
