Art of Speed zooms in again this year for its 12th iteration, and ahead of the event happening at the end of this month, the brainchild behind this annual Kustom Kulture convention, Asep Ahmad Iskandar drops by our studio to share what it’s been like to create a space where this unique community can gather every year to exchange ideas and geek out over their love for custom cars, motorcycles and the different subcultures around it. Asep also talks about how they’ve survived the pandemic, the necessity of innovating and offering something new every year, as well as how much the community he serves has grown and changed after more than a decade of Art of Speed.
