In celebration of Kartini Day, PT KAI (Persero) is collaborating with talented young artist Erika Richardo and the Ministry of Creative Economy to create a new train experience.

While you might normally view Erika Richardo's work on your phone, now you can see her paintings directly on the train. This collaboration is available on the Jakarta-Surabaya route, allowing those with high mobility on this route to enjoy fresh and colorful visuals throughout their journey.

Erika herself is very enthusiastic about bringing her work from the digital realm directly to real life. "I want this work to be present on many people's journeys. I hope that everyone who sees it will feel closer to authentic Indonesian creativity!" said Erika.

Your journey will be even more colorful because KAI has also invited adorable local IP (Intellectual Property) characters to decorate the train carriages. Get ready to meet:
1. Starla (Sekuya)
2. Miyu (Halomiyu)
3. Ripple
4. Dripsy

This visual element will definitely make your journey feel fresher, more fun, and perfect for those of you who enjoy updating your content on social media.

The Ministry of Creative Economy fully supports this initiative as a cool way to introduce Indonesian creative talent directly to the public.

"This collaboration opens up wide access for Indonesian creative talent to be present in public spaces and reach out to the public directly," explained Deputy Minister of Creative Economy, Irene Umar.

Echoing this sentiment, KAI's Director of Human Resources and Institutional Affairs, Atih Nurhayati, stated that Kartini Day is the perfect time to demonstrate KAI's inclusivity and openness to public creativity.

Come celebrate the courageous work of Indonesian women by experiencing this mobile art gallery firsthand. See you in the colorful carriages!
