Always to the stars
Year V · 2026The Artist
Conceptual artist, textile painter, social sculptor. Works across installation, wearable art, and site-specific practice. Founder of UKENA — wearable artworks made in Bali, worn at the intersection of ceremony and everyday life.
Practice rooted in collective experience, material memory, and the body as archive.
The Vision for Year V
Ad Sidera Semper was never just a festival. It is a return. An act of grief transformed into gathering — held each year in the week of a birthday, in the days of the dead, on a stretch of coast that holds no distraction from what actually matters.
Year V is the year to give the art dimension the same weight as the music. Not decoration. An experience with its own logic, its own memory, its own objects that carry the week forward after it ends.
What if the visual world of the festival — the posters, the stage, the objects people take home — were made by one hand, with the same intention the festival was built on?
That is the proposal.
Ole Ukena as Creative Curator of Year V. OUStudio handling the visual identity. UKENA producing festival wearables. An open call, curated by Ole, bringing in the right artists — not a crowd, a selection.
