Kuru

Kuru, a street artist from Makassar, has marked his footprints in various spots in the city of Makassar with several striking graffiti works. These scratches depict characters in the form of bird fire spirits, representing the soul of the Bugis-Makassar people as documented in the Book of Lagaligo. With his personal touch, Kuru reinforces this message through lontara letters in the form of graffiti letters, and his signature phrase, “Kuru, kuru sumange or Pakuru Sumange,” which is full of meaning regarding soul encouragement and a passionate spiritual call. Kuru’s works celebrate cultural heritage and spirituality in the city of Makassar
