About Us
We witness culture.
SamoFest is not a platform. It is an institution — a living archive of creative gatherings across Indonesia. From motion design jams in Jakarta to typography summits in Bali, from pixel art weekends to printmaking festivals in Bandung, we document, curate, and preserve the moments where culture leaves its mark.
What We Do
Four principles.
We Witness
Every gathering tells a story. Every story shapes a community. Every community deserves a witness. We are that witness.
We Preserve
Not just photos and videos — but the feeling of being there. The documentary, the behind-the-scenes, the community voice. All of it, archived forever.
We Connect
From motion design jams in Jakarta to typography summits in Bali — we bring together the people who make culture, and the people who document it.
We Elevate
Culture is not content to be consumed. It is a living, breathing thing. We elevate the people who make it, the spaces where it happens, and the moments that define it.
