I co-founded Word in Progress, an online poetry collective, with Elgard, Elena, Tia Hanifa, and Sheila Maharani. We created the collective to expand our passion for writing and to provide an accessible space for writers and poets in Indonesia and beyond to share their work, engage in thoughtful critique, and build creative connections. What began as a small collective among the five of us has grown into a community network of writers united by a shared interest in poetry, storytelling, and creative exchange.

                            Building and growing Word in Progress gave me the opportunity to design and facilitate workshops exploring the intersections of visual art, poetry, and creative expression. I was invited to facilitate various visual art and poetry workshops, including those organised by student organisations from University of Gajah Mada and the University of Indonesia, as well as a collaboration with another collective, such as Love Bites: A Poetic Dining Affair with a Side of Bookish Air, a partnership with Banquet Book Club, where we guided participants to create visual poetry, encouraging experimentation with language, image-making, and personal expression.
                            We were also featured on the BagiSuara podcast, where we had the chance to talk about our collective and perform a collection of poems.
