The Noorside house-factory is based in the village of Nitiprayan on the outskirts of Yogyakarta, where the urban world merges with traditional Javanese farming communities. The area is a regional hub for artists, musicians and students from across the Indonesian Archipelago. Noorside’s house-factory is a unique concept that seeks to integrate lighting production into the surrounding cultural and ecological landscape. Here are some stories from the Noorside community showing life from within our neighbourhood.
