Ardhana Riswarie is currently pursuing her PhD at the Australian National University's School of Art and Design. She is also an Art Psychotherapist and Lecturer at the Faculty of Art and Design, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. Her research explores art therapy in community-based practices focused on climate justice. She examines art's reparative function in managing collective ambivalence toward environmental challenges. With experience in post-disaster interventions, she now focuses on mitigation and preparedness in Global South contexts.
