Elia Nurvista was born in Yogyakarta. She obtained her BFA from Indonesia Institute of Fine-Art (2010). She’s interested in exploring a wide range of art mediums with an interdisciplinary approach and focus on the discourse of food. Through food, she intends to scrutinize about power, social and economic inequality in this world.

She has participated in several residencies including Koganecho Bazaar Artist in Residence, Yokohama (2012), “Politics of Food” program in Delfina Foundation, London (2014), Taipei Artist Village, Taipei (2014) and Choreographer’s LAB in Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, Frankfurt am Main (2016).

In 2015 she initiated Bakudapan food study group with colleagues and students from Department of Anthropology Gadjah Mada University. With Bakudapan she has conducted research on food within the socio-political and cultural context. She lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

2012년 부터 음식을 매개로 정치,사회,젠더, 철학 등의 이슈로 활동을 해오고 Bakudapan이란 집단을 만들어 2015 년부터 이끌어 왔다. 족자의 독특한 콜렉티브 중에 음식을 매개로 한 유일한 집단이고, 인도네시아에서 먹을 수 있는 나물을 개발한다던가 재배해서 보급도 하고, 레시피 개발 등과 함께 음식의 의미에 대해 꾸준히 연구, 실험하고 있다. 작가의 퍼포먼스는 대만, 일본 등 여러나라에서 행한바가 있다.
