Dewi Candraningrum

Indonesia

Dewi Candraningrum is a feminist scholar and researcher whose work bridges postcolonial literature, critical pedagogy, and gender studies through intersectional and decolonial ecofeminist perspectives. She is the lead editor of the Ekofeminisme book series and editor-in-chief of Salasika, the feminist journal of the Indonesian Women’s and Gender Studies Association (ASWGI). In Central Java, she founded Jejer Wadon (Womb Document), a grassroots initiative that amplifies rural women’s resistance against ecological exploitation through collective care, feminist pedagogy, and memory activism. Her academic and community projects examine ecological violence, gendered trauma, and embodied resistance as forms of political refusal. Beyond her academic work, Dewi engages in collaborative visual “artivism” with her son, Ivan Ufuq Isfahan, whose neurodivergent lived experience informs their joint exhibitions. Their art practice advocates inclusive care, archives injustice, and embodies intergenerational resilience and healing.
