BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Kiki Rizky Soetisna Putri is a researcher and lecturer at the Faculty of Art and Design, ITB, where she also serves as the head of the library and the Center for Indonesian Visual Art Studies (CIVAS ITB). Founded in 2017, CIVAS is a unique archival center that preserves and showcases the history of teaching and pedagogy of art history in Indonesia, with a special focus on the Bandung School—the oldest art school in the country, now known as the Faculty of Art and Design, ITB.

 

Dr. Kiki earned her PhD from Bandung Institute of Technology, where her dissertation delved into the intersection of individual and collective practices with sociocultural issues in Bandung’s art scene post-2000. She is deeply engaged in research activities, including the reconstruction of the artistic practice and processes of the late female artist Umi Dachlan, exploring Dachlan’s artistic methods through archival studies and in-depth interviews.

 

At CIVAS ITB, Dr. Kiki manages and curates a significant collection of heritage artifacts, focusing particularly on those related to the history of the Bandung School. She oversees the preservation, documentation, and research of these culturally important items, which include Hindu-Buddha artifacts and other heritage objects relocated during the colonial era. Her role at CIVAS ITB is in integrating historical collections with contemporary art practices and educational programs, ensuring that these artifacts continue to contribute to the understanding and teaching of Indonesian art history. She spearheads initiatives that combine archival research with modern technology, fostering collaborations that bring new perspectives on the provenance and significance of these artifacts within the narrative of Indonesian modern art.
