The TitikMerah Collective – founded by visual artists Raja Azeem Idzham (better known as Ajim Juxta), Adeputra Mastri and Latif Maulan in 2014 – is synonymous with exhibitions that encourage young and emerging artists to explore their ideas freely.

This “grassroots-level gallery” operates in the spirit of collaboration, engagement and community building, and offers new artists a much-needed platform free from the obligatory parameters of commercial galleries, according to Ajim.
