Dita Gambiro’s works first caught the attention of the art public through her interesting use of human hair. In 2011, she was awarded the Bandung Contemporary Art Awards. Amongst many other exhibitions, Dita recently participated in Dysfashional #6 – an exhibition held by theFrenchCulturalCentre and Galeri Nasional Indonesia.
Dita’s affinity for hair is embedded in the culture in which she grew up in and her role as a woman. For women, hair is often a symbol of beauty, like a sacred crown. Dita has made use of this unconventional medium in numerous ways to discuss issues that surround her as a young woman.
