ARTCYCLE: EARTHFORM Where Materials Find New Meaning

There is something quietly powerful about transformation, the idea that what we often overlook can take on a new life and purpose. This Earth Month, ASHTA District 8 presents ARTCYCLE, a curated program where art, design, and sustainability come together in one evolving space.

At its core is EARTHFORM, an immersive exhibition at the Melting Pot from 20 April to 17 May 2026. Bringing together sustainable brands and contemporary visual artists, EARTHFORM explores how everyday materials from recycled plastic and leftover textiles to bio-based elements can be reimagined into meaningful creations through thoughtful design and experimentation.

Through collaborations such as Aharimu x Chop Value, Alphabad x Rebricks, Gula x norm:al: living, Harishazka x Bell Living Lab, and Lala Bohang x Pable, the exhibition highlights diverse interpretations of circular design where creativity and responsibility move hand in hand.

More than a visual showcase, EARTHFORM invites visitors into an immersive and tactile experience, encouraging them to see, feel, and connect with materials in new ways. Each work becomes a reflection of process, purpose, and the possibilities behind transformation.

Supported by Bakti Lingkungan Djarum Foundation, an initiative under Djarum Foundation focused on environmental preservation, ARTCYCLE is grounded in a shared commitment to sustainability. Through its ongoing efforts in waste management, environmental education, and conservation, the foundation brings a meaningful layer to the program, reinforcing ARTCYCLE’s mission to transform materials into something of lasting value.

Expanding the journey, ARTCYCLE introduces Journey into Sustainability in collaboration with Liberty Society and MOP Beauty, an initiative that explores waste management in Indonesia through visual storytelling and education. Inspired by the realities of Bantar Gebang, the experience invites visitors to understand the lifecycle of waste and its potential to be reprocessed into valuable materials.

The space features interactive elements such as the Upcycled Museum, Repair Station, Tree of Hope installation with Paperina, and curated Dropbox Stations for plastic, paper, and beauty packaging waste. Visitors can also explore a Product Pop-Up area showcasing collections from green startups, with part of the proceeds supporting women empowerment programs by Liberty Society Foundation.

As part of the experience, visitors are encouraged to take small steps toward sustainability through a series of curated shopping programs. Through Bring Your Own Tumbler, visitors can enjoy selected coffee for Rp15.000 by redeeming 2 Koins via the ASRI Living app. The Green Picks program also offers 30% discounts on selected items such as lunch boxes from Sillyco and tumblers from Hydro Flask with Koins redemption.

Additional offers include Live to Shop, where visitors can receive a Rp100.000 shopping voucher with a minimum spend of Rp750.000, and Feel Good Shopping, which rewards a complimentary drink for purchases starting from Rp300.000. For District 8 tenants and visitors, District 8 Exclusives offers complimentary coffee with a minimum transaction of Rp100.000 by showing a D8 access card, while Treat Yourself allows visitors to redeem beverages using 20 Koins through the ASRI Living app.

More than just an exhibition, ARTCYCLE invites you to see materials differently and to rethink how everyday choices can shape a more responsible future. Discover ARTCYCLE: EARTHFORM at the Melting Pot, ASHTA District 8, from 20 April to 17 May 2026.
