JOIN US THIS SUNDAY!

Januar Rianto will share insights into their multifaceted—and sometimes hard to define—modus operandi and highlight some of the imprint’s latest releases on graphic design, food culture, art, and creative writing. Initially conceived as an online compendium of reading references, Further Reading expanded into curatorial practice and exhibition-making before finding its footing as a publishing practice. Guided by independence and the ethos of alternativeness, along with a strong Southeast Asian identity, these facets informed their approach, methodologies, and decision-making processes.

Announcing READING ELSE Vol 2: Further Reading (Bandung/Jakarta) .reading.press

The project builds on Further Reading’s Bookshelf ( ), an online series launched in 2017 where the team and fellow contributors were asked to share books on Indonesian design, contemporary art, food culture, creative writing, theory and criticism, politics, and archive that had shaped their ethos.

Reading Else Vol 2: Further Reading extends this spirit into a collective reading room—less a definitive list than a living assemblage, an evolving catalogue of voices, projects, and movements that continue to shape and challenge artistic and discursive practices in Indonesia.

THIS WEEKEND ONLY - While displayed in the reading room for the whole provided period, these special books are rarely seen and hard to come across as they are all a part of private collections scattered throughout the city. These volumes have witnessed and documented key moments in Malaysian architecture — a true testament to the research and dedication of their writers.

Join us for a guided viewing of the reading room’s “do-not-touch” treasures. Limited slots available, register via link in our bio.
