Leonhard Bartolomeus (barto) is a curator at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM). After graduating from the Jakarta Institute of Art, he joined ruangrupa (and later became part of Gudskul Ekosistem) until his departure to Yamaguchi in 2019. While working with the artist collective, he developed an interest in the intersection between art, education, and community engagement, which then influenced many of his curatorial projects, such as “Kolektif Kurator Kampung” (2017–2021), “Kurikulab: Moving Class” in collaboration with Serrum (YCAM, 2021), “The Flavour of Power” in partnership with Bakudapan Food Study Group (YCAM, 20232), “Speculative Library” (YCAM, 2023), “Iida Kaido Kikitori Art Project” (2024) and “Dance Floor as Study Room” with wendelien van oldenborgh (YCAM, 2024). Barto considers himself a generalist and always tries to learn new things through workshops, lectures, exhibitions, and art projects that he participates in at various places.
