Sukma Smita is a cultural worker and arts manager based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Drawing from her own position within the cultural sector, her research focuses on the working conditions of art labor and the moral economy that underpins artistic production, particularly in festival, institutional, and collective settings. She is the co-founder and program director of Krack Studio, a printmaking collective that engages with political print culture, publishing, and collaborative production across the Asia-Pacific region. Together with Krack, Sukma explores how print functions not only as an artistic medium, but also as a civic technology that is circulating aspirations, everyday ideologies, and counter-narratives through vernacular forms such as flyers, posters, stickers, and grassroots publications. Her current inquiry considers printed matter as a lens through which to read urban change, informal diplomacy, and visual expressions of resistance in everyday life across shifting cultural landscapes.
