ROH is pleased to share Aditya Novali’s presentation, Tender Notes, at ARTJOG 2025 Motif: Amalan.

 

 

Aditya Novali’s presentation, Tender Notes, considers the history of Indonesia’s currency as a visual archive of the nation’s constructed self-image. Drawing from the dense mosaic of motifs extracted from Indonesian bank notes issued since 1945, including landscapes, monuments and buildings, ceremonial practices that once served to stabilise state narratives of unity and progress, Novali loosens them from their ideological moorings and reconfigures them into fragments in motion.
