A brief history of Mes56 in Jogjakarta

Mes56 is a collective of artists who work cooperatively with the community and its network in managing a home that is used as a work studio, study class, playroom and shelter. Formed in 2002 with independent funding, this community rests on the development of photography and contemporary art that intersects with other disciplines critically and contextually for the realization of an open, creative and independent society.
