Due to the richness of its culture and heritage, we decided to expose one region annually beginning of last year. Published in early September, we chose ‘YogyakARTa’ to be our regional theme this year, focusing on its the art, culture and design. It turned out that our decision lead to a huge success, thus we decided to launch the edition at The Phoenix Hotel, Yogyakarta, inviting every single one of the contributors to our celebration.

MC Anang Batas then introduced our editor in chief, Lina Gan to welcome and thank the attendees, especially those who contributed to the edition. Then Thomas Evrard, GM of The Phoenix Hotel delivered a speech, followed by a performance of ‘Sego Kucing’ (Yogyakarta’s street food) to welcome dinner.
