Wiwid is a Bandung-based artist currently designing and sculpting what might be called furniture.
Born 1964 in Surabaya, East Java, Wiwid (whose original name is Trodjo Widarti) has been quite active in the field of arts. Besides her study of economics, she has been a member of several theater groups, including the Bengkel Theater of the well-known playwright and poet Rendra. From her father she inherited a solid background in Javanese mysticism, including a thorough knowledge of the Indian Mahabharata and Ramayana. Her work as a journalist at the Indonesian weekly Tempo was interrupted by giving birth to her two sons Milan and Julian.
