Although he has lived on the streets for years, Andi Malewa, 38, never lost hope. The man from Makassar, South Sulawesi, has been working to improve the wellbeing of marginalized people. Opening a reading space in 2007 for the street people who have made their home at Depok Terminal in West Java, Andi has become a mouthpiece for street musicians.
Andi set up the Street Music Institute (IMJ) in 2014 with Frysto Gurning and Iksan Skuter, although Iksan withdrew later to focus on his musical career.
