Biography:

Boedi Widjaja is an Indonesian artist born in 1975 in Solo City, Indonesia. He currently lives and works in Singapore.

His approach is often autobiographical and informed by his own lived experience of migration and diaspora. He has shown in numerous exhibitions internationally, including the Asia Pacific Triennial 9 (2018); MAP1: The Transforming Cityscape (2014); and the Singapore Biennale (2011, 2013, 2016).
