‘Pada Lingsa’ Art Exhibition by Fandi Angga Saputra
- Date: 26 September – 2 November 2025
- Location: Srisasanti Gallery Tirtodipuran A
Fandi Angga Saputra will present a solo exhibition at Srisasanti Gallery, Tirtodipuran Link, Building A. ‘Pada Lingsa’ reflects Fandi’s response to a quiet yet persistent phenomenon, the growing disconnection from culturally rooted ways of life. Cultural fluency is uneven; some hold deep knowledge, while others retain only fragments. A diffuse process of forgetting is underway, subtly eroding our responsibility to remember. In this context, ‘Pada Lingsa’ invites us to pause, gather what surrounds us, listen, and look again.
