KITLV and Framer Framed are delighted to announce Jay Afrisando as the new Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed Artist in Residence. Beginning this fall, the artist will develop a project in collaboration with us in the intersections of activism, art, and archive.
About the Artist in Residence Program
The Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed Artist in Residence program aims to sponsor and support concrete, innovative, provocative, and societally relevant projects. Artists in residence work on urgent topics at the intersection of art and culture, academic research, and scholarship in the field of Southeast Asian and/or Caribbean Studies, and in relation to (post)colonial theory and discourse.
Jay Afrisando
Jay Afrisando is a composer, multimedia artist, researcher, and educator. Through multisensory and antidisciplinary practices, he works on aural diversity, disability, accessibility, and decolonising arts manifested in music-theater, film, installation, witty storytelling, and other genre-bending experiences. Through collaborations with aurally diverse and disabled artists, curators, and communities, his work celebrates neurodivergent, Deaf, and disabled modes of hearing-listening. He treats access as an artistic resource and uses diverse methodologies to center crip practices. His lived experience as a neurodivergent has created intimate relationships that involve cross-media and cross-sensory listening practices.
His works have been presented at various spaces, including daadgalerie (DE), TanzFaktur (DE), ARTJOG (ID), UCSC Institute of the Arts and Sciences (US), Indexical (US), Curb Appeal Gallery (US), Sound Scene at the Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum (US), HERE Arts Center (US), ARGOS Centre for Audiovisual Arts (BE), and Attenborough Arts Centre (UK), among others. He is a DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Music & Sound Fellow 2024-25, a MAP Fund grantee 2022, and a Jerome Hill Artist Fellow 2021-22. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Music at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
For this edition of the KITLV-Framer Framed Residency, Jay will continue his longstanding research on disability justice in Indonesia. Through research in written and photographic archival collections, he expands his research into the influences of Dutch colonial rule on Indonesian discourses of disability, as well as current government policies affecting disabled people. Jay’s involvement of Indonesian disability communities in further conceptualisation of the project broadens the notion of ‘accessibility’ in the archive through social practice and political engagement.
