Rizki Musthafa A is a visual culture enthusiast/researcher, educator, and creator whose work bridges critical theory, media semiotics, and narrative worldbuilding. Rooted in Visual Cultural Studies, Rizki explores how images, symbols, and storytelling function as vessels of cultural memory, identity, and philosophical inquiry—especially within the contexts of Japanese media arts, global manga cultures, and posthuman ecologies.
His approach draws from dialectical thought, structural poetics, and speculative design, by reading thinkers like Foucault, Deleuze & Guattari, Lyotard, and Haraway. Rizki’s practice includes: Deconstructing and reanimating Japanese visual tropes in transcultural settings; Developing bilingual and project-based curricula on manga, visual narrative, and philosophy; Investigating the roles of myth and imagination in visual storytelling. Through his work, Rizki positions visual culture as a living archive and a speculative tool, hoping to generate new dialogues between past and future, the seen and the felt.
