Open Studio: Mira Rizki

“Mencari Onar Upaya Mendengar”

4 March – 4 April 2026

Introduction

Mira Rizki is a multidisciplinary artist from Bandung who uses sound as the primary medium in her artistic practice. Her interest stems from the process of sound formation and how experience, environment, and memory shape a person’s knowledge and auditory perception. Her work positions sound as both a personal expression and an invisible political medium. She examines how sound operates within—and often in opposition to—dominant social narratives.

In this open studio, Mira Rizki defines “disruption” as something that shakes everyday life, is layered, yet is often suppressed, silenced, or even unheard. During the open studio, Mira Rizki will seek out, listen to, and understand the chaos hidden in the cryptic stories shared among residents. The findings during this program will form part of the artistic process leading to future works; the experiences and expressions of the community are treated as living materials.

*Open Studio is one of the programs of Cemeti Institute for Art and Society that focuses on artistic experimentation and the development of discourse around works currently being developed by artists. This program represents a new form of utilizing Cemeti’s Stockroom space, held regularly and open to artists, either by invitation or through an open proposal.

Biography

Mira Rizki is an artist whose practice centers on sound and interactivity. Drawing on her sensitivity to the forms and qualities of sound, she explores how people construct perceptions of sonic compositions through their diverse personal, cultural, and environmental experiences. Her work often investigates the ways individuals respond differently to sound, using experiments with aural memory and sound environments to reveal the subjective nature of listening.
Born in 1994, Mira began her artistic journey in 2013 while studying at the Intermedia Art Studio, Bandung Institute of Technology. Since then, she has focused on examining how sound perception is shaped from multiple perspectives. Her research also reflects an ongoing curiosity about how past human interventions in the environment may have contributed to the ways contemporary listeners perceive and remember sounds.
Through her works, Mira encourages audiences to engage more deeply with one another and to become conscious of their own presence within a broader network of human and non-human entities that share the world.
