Empowering Artists with Special Needs: Terartai's Journey to Inclusivity and Sustainability
Hello, I'm Amanda, the founder of Terartai, a social enterprise based in Jakarta dedicated to empowering artists with special needs. At Terartai, we believe that #EveryoneHasAGift, including those from underrepresented communities like artists with autism, cerebral palsy, and Down syndrome. Our mission is to foster a more inclusive and sustainable world by showcasing the incredible talents of these individuals.
Through Terartai, we create an inclusive environment where these gifted artists can collaborate and express themselves through unique and beautiful artworks. Their creations are transformed into a wide range of products, from fashion items to home accessories, allowing their talents to shine in every aspect of life.
A portion of our proceeds goes directly back to the artists, providing them with a sustainable source of income and supporting their creative growth. While building Terartai is a journey, I am passionate about this mission and believe that, together, we can make a lasting impact. When I'm not working on Terartai, I enjoy baking sourdough bread, reading non-fiction, and spending time with friends.
