  • Education

    • Ecole Superieure des Beaux Arts Geneve

      (Exchange student) Pole Peinture et Dessins

      During the semester that I was here, I was able to learn about western Fine Arts closer to its center. There were also subjects that I couldn't possibly get while studying in Indonesia, which were "catalogue design", "history of exhibitions" and "community art".

    • Goldsmiths, University of London

      2012 - 2014
      Master of Arts (MA) Art Psychotherapy

      With the focus on experiential learning, doing my master study here was the best choice. Besides lectures and group activities on campus, I was also required to train professionally in two different placement settings. In addition, I had to have a personal therapy myself.All and all, I felt that the study did not only give me a degree but also had prepared me to be a safe and professional art psychotherapy practitioner.
