Tienuk Riefki is one of the bridal make-up artists who still upholds the customs. She started her career in 1974.

Tienuk Riefki has served as chairman of HARPI (Indonesian Bridal Cosmetology Expert Association) Melati DPD DIY for 32 years. Her work and dedication as a makeup mestro led her to receive an award as a preservationist of regional bridal development from the Ministry of National Education.
As a maestro, she left behind many archives and memorabilia. For this reason, this exhibition presents Tienuk Riefki's personal archives that have never been shown to the public. There are at least 16 archives on display. Not only archives, memorabilia objects included in the exhibition include kebaya, jarik, bun and beauty case or makeup bag that is often carried when doing makeup.
The Archives & Memorabilia Exhibition is also the Final Project Exhibition by Rulli Meilia, a student of the S-1 Art Management Study Program of FSR ISI Yogyakarta. This exhibition was held to invite artists and other art actors to begin to realize the importance of archiving the works of maestros. Archives are an important part of a person's life, one of which is as a memory repository that can provide reliable evidence to know and investigate history. So it is not wrong if this exhibition puts the spirit of preserving cultural values along with local wisdom and historical value as the main presentation.
The Archives & Memorabilia exhibition is the result of collaboration between the S1 Art Management Study Program, Faculty of Performing Arts, ISI Yogyakarta, Royal Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta and Tienuk Riefki Management. This exhibition also proves the collaboration between universities and the industrial world. Collaboration that will provide benefits for all institutions that work together.
