Nandinne Kuntjoro

The writings presented in this ‘Journey to Sense’ are by Nandinne Kuntjoro, a movement-awareness facilitator and aspiring writer, displaying as responses to the visual art produced by Tatum Maya. Her journey of weaving words into poetry and verses started from a young age, describing it as a sincere reflection of her inner world responding to the external one. Her writings unveil layers of raw emotions and personal expression, captured by her ‘senses, embodied by her ‘self’ and birthed as co-created arts with the artist.

Born in Balikpapan, East Borneo, Indonesia, she later relocated to Bandung during her college years and eventually settled in Jakarta, where she currently resides. In 2014, her passion organically transitioned to the practice of body movement, particularly yoga, becoming a pivotal piece in her ongoing exploration of understanding the world by delving into the workings of her own 'self.' Since then, she has actively taken on the role of facilitating yoga and movement classes in Jakarta, nurturing her continuous journey of self-discovery and sharing her passion with others.
