Curating Explorations
of Liminality

Romila is a writer, sound artist, facilitator, death doula and cyber-mystic with kejawen roots from the island of Java and Zoroastrian ancestry from Mazar-i-Sharif.

Through jam karet, an Indonesian incantation to bend time, Romila curates explorations of liminality through writing, sound design and counter-archiving.

Child of a dream interpreter, great-grandchild of birthing doulas, Romila carries the gifts of intuition, groundedness and future-telling to hold spaces to gather in community through literature, spellmaking and rituals rooted in queer non-linearity, sabr and kejawen ways of being.
