An introduction to The Nusantara Issue.

Growing up with mixed heritage in one of the most multicultural environments in the Netherlands, a fixed identity was never something I could fully lean on. My Indonesian and European roots were a starting point, but the many cultures & communities around me shaped how I live, what I consume and how I see the world.

Media often focuses on the negatives of cultures coming together. Looking around me, I see more than that: cultures thriving side by side and creating new subcultures. Endy aims to be a creative space where cultures coexist, where people meet, learn from one another, and share their stories. A place where the world is seen through a creative lens.

Our first issue stays close to home. The Nusantara Issue explores how Indonesian subcultures develop, how communities create spaces to come together, and how a new wave of creatives reconnects with heritage while building something new. Learn about the culture through the creatives that shape it.

This is only a short preview. The full, in-depth story can be found in the printed Endy Magazine, Issue No. 1: The Nusantara Issue.
