TED Community

I’m passionate about the intersection of design, community, culture, and sustainability. With a background in architecture and interdisciplinary design, I am interested in how spaces, systems, and creative practices influence people’s everyday experiences and social connections. I am especially passionate about ecofeminist perspectives, storytelling, community engagement, and using design as a tool for dialogue, reflection, and positive social impact. I also enjoy creating opportunities for collaboration and public engagement through events, research, and creative work. I believe meaningful conversations and shared experiences can inspire new perspectives and help build stronger and more connected communities.

Trauma work, building black and brown communities, ending mental health stigma and traveling the world :-).

Informal learning - spreading the democracy of ideas

Ever since I can't publish stories about sexual harassment that happened in my university back in late 2018 in the university newspaper, I found my own organization called Narasi Perempuan to talk about sexual harassment, women empowerment, and gender equality. Through Narasi Perempuan I learn and unlearn the unconscious bias that I have and together with several other women we create change. Now, in 2022, I think my biggest accomplishment is helping the government create sexual harassments regulation, especially at the university level through the ministry of education law number 30 year 2021. I also help break the taboo to talk about sexual harassment openly in Banjarmasin. I'm glad that more and more victims can speak up, get the help that they need. There are a lot of other organizations, scholars, and individuals who share, discuss and do something to elevate gender equality in Banjarmasin.
