Elia Nurvista is an artist whose practice critically engages with food politics to examine power structures, social hierarchies, and economic inequalities. Through a diverse range of mediums—including workshops, study groups, publications, site-specific works, performances, video, and installations—she explores the social and political implications of food systems, addressing broader issues such as ecology, gender, class, and geopolitics.
In 2015, she co-founded Bakudapan, a food study group that operates on the principles of complementarity and solidarity. With Bakudapan she has conducted cross-referential research at the intersection of food, art, pedagogy, and activism. She is also part of Struggles for Sovereignty, a solidarity platform focused on land, water, farming, and food, working to build lasting alliances between grassroots movements in Indonesia and transnational networks advocating for the right to self-determination over essential resources.
