Biography
Arief Budiman is an artist and filmmaker based in Yogyakarta. He often uses moving images and media art in his work. In recent years, Arief's artistic practice has been closely linked to the internet, archives, and collective memory related to the history of violence. According to him, archives and technology are some instruments that can open up other possibilities in reading past events. Through this instrument, Arief created an alternative history to the established narrative and created a counter-narrative through the memories of people who had been absent and taboo to talk about.
