Eko Saputra is an interdisciplinary practitioner and researcher working at the intersection of history, material culture, and digital heritage. His practice utilizes transculturalism as a primary methodology, investigating how memory and identity are preserved, transformed, or erased through migration and the passage of time. By interrogating the tension between official archives and lived experience, Eko maps the movement of narratives across borders, bridging the gap between historical record and contemporary global perspectives.
Driven by an interest in the "fragment," his work explores how technology and heritage can be used to reconstruct overlooked cultural narratives. He works with the archive as a living space for investigation into diaspora identity and heritage. Through diverse media and academic rigor, Eko seeks to trace the fluid boundaries of stories as they evolve across geography, creating a dialogue between the objects we leave behind and the digital futures we inhabit.
