Writing and Zines

Bernaung: Nyawiji

Zine Series
Page 1
"Bernaung" is a series of zines that aims to highlight the intense, personal experiences of coming out, the self-dialogues of queer individuals, and the elements that provide solace. We strive to present queer identities authentically, ensuring their stories are no longer overlooked or altered by mainstream narratives.
"Bernaung" comprises three series: "Nyawiji", "Kabuka", and "Queer Spiritualism", with "Nyawiji" and "Kabuka" featured in this year's SEAQCF.
Artist

Sabdanaung

Indonesia

Nanda Bagus or Sabdanaung isa digital artist working between Jogja and Bali. He specializes in highlighting small, often overlooked stories that mainstream narratives tend to ignore. His art is a reflection of the complex and often unseen facets of human experience.

Currently, he's immersed in writing a trilogy on queer spiritualism, which delves into self-acceptance and the spiritual journey of being queer. Through both his art and writing, Nanda strives to give voice to marginalized stories and perspectives.

At his core, he's an artist who embraces various creative forms. Right now, Nanda focuses on digital art and handpoke tattooing. He is also the co-founder of Zinethink, a deeply personal zine project. His latest work, the Nyawiji Trilogy (Queer Spiritualism - Nyawiji - Kabuka), explores the journey of "coming in" and "coming out," featuring profound conversations with my younger self.
