A Community of Colour: The meaning behind the street art in Depok

A Community of Colour

Just off the chaotic main street of Margonda in Depok City, and a far cry from the throttling tuk-tuks and endless traffic jams, there lives a quiet community that lets their streets do the talking for them. Made for the community by the community, the first thing you’ll notice upon stepping into this Kampung Temakit – Thematic Village – is how the walls are splashed with colour.
