Pilgrimage of Memory
Time, in a broader framework, is closely related to historical themes. Prihatmoko Moki and Suvi Wahyudianto explore it with their respective approaches and unique choices of techniques and mediums. The two went back and forth between personal history and the history of the larger community. Both want to express how work of art can take us across time through events in the past, how we can talk about things that were once taboo, and help us to imagine a better future.
The Imagination of Time
The past, present, and future are often envisioned in the same line. However, the past and the future are both full of speculation and possibilities. Those possibilities are born from what we live today. Through the textile and crystal experiments that she did on her work, Irene Agrivina, in collaboration with Caroline Rika, invites us to imagine the possibility of the future. About how things around us can grow and live with human intervention and technology. Meanwhile, Lintang Radittya invites us to listen to the past told by the land of Merapi, Nglanggeran, and Parangkusumo. These two works invite us to imagine other ways to talk about the past, the present, and the future.
Measuring Shadows
Wayang Ukur is a work created by Ki Sigit Sukasman with a progressive and visionary outpouring of thought. Through his thoughts and practice, we can find knowledge in almost every aspect of the work, from the process of making wayang, performances, story writing, presentation tactics, and so on. This knowledge is then very important to be maintained and cared for to continue to be inherited.
