Reignite Your Spirit, Astra and Young Artist Yessiow Transforms Bundaran HI Astra TransJakarta Bus Stop

JAKARTA: Astra invites Jakarta’s citizens to enjoy the new face of the Bundaran HI Astra TransJakarta Bus Stop, now adorned with the work of Bali-based artist Yessiow. This collaboration between Astra and Yessiow is a tangible manifestation of Astra’s support for Indonesia’s creative industry.

Some parts of the Bundaran HI Astra TransJakarta Bus Stop has been enlivened by illustrations that tell the story of ‘Astra for Indonesia’s Today and Future’. Encapsulated in the theme ‘Reignite Your Spirit’, each illustration depicts Astra’s contributions to sustainability. These inspiring works of art, set against the backdrop of the Selamat Datang Monument, add a captivating charm to the bus stop.

On Saturday afternoon (10/14), visitors of the Bundaran HI Astra TransJakarta Bus Stop were invited to relax and enjoy the live music at the sky deck. Meanwhile, on Sunday morning (10/15), people participated in a yoga session held from 06.00–07.30 WIB.

Over the next month, visitors can immerse themselves in the spirit of Astra through these art installations from the collaboration between Astra and Yessiow. There is also an ‘Astra Inspirational Box’ filled with motivational postcards, and a phone-booth installation where visitors can share their daily experiences, which may be selected for discussion in a podcast.

“This collaboration is a form of support for works produced by Indonesia’s young generation. We hope these inspirational art illustrations will help people reignite their spirit to contribute to the nation and state,” said Astra Chief of Corporate Affairs Riza Deliansyah.
