Terang Press publishes writing and artistic works that move through the shared terrain of personal memory, and place within diaspora communities, particularly from Asia. terang, meaning ‘light’ in Bahasa Indonesia is based between Amsterdam and Jakarta. 

Our approach to bookmaking is shaped by visual language, where image and text meet, overlap, and illuminate one another. We work collaboratively, embracing multivocality across forms and languages.  Alongside publishing, we host collective programs.
