menyelesaikan bacaan Domestic Notes vol. 2 karya Nuraini Juliastuti. kufoto dua halaman yang rasanya sangat dekat. soal bekerja dengan Google Docs dan menulis dalam bahasa inggris.

sejak awal sudah dibuat tertegun, kenapa terpikir membuat
judul proyek Domestic Notes. sebetulnya kata yang juga sering kulihat, dengar, dan gunakan bahkan juga alami di keseharian.

seru karena keseharian bisa diarsipkan, dijadikan referensi untuk keseharian orang lain (mungkin). suka pemilihan kata dalam judul proyek ini, apa yang dibahas sebagai orang Indo, pilihan warna, dan paling penting Cahaya’s drawings.

(berupaya memotret lebih banyak warna dan kerja domestik yang lucu berkat zine ini)

thank you, mbak! 💓

A glimpse of ‘Stories of Wounds and Wonder’, an experimental children’s book by art researcher, writer, and pedagogue Nuraini Juliastuti.

Imagined as a script for intergenerational transmission, this exciting book follows the lives of non-human animals across the Indonesian archipelago. Set against the backdrop of postcolonial erasure, developmentalism, and capitalist expansion, its six episodes dwell on the animals’ struggles and their poetic practices of survival. Guided by the adventurous she/rat Puteri, children and adults alike will learn about cross-species solidarity, rebellious movements, disappearing Indigenous cosmologies and the women who wove around the mountains in eco-political resistance.

To celebrate the release of the book, the script is activated through a display companion and a day of reading, music and conversations at Framer Framed, Amsterdam.

On the occasion of the launch, the book is turned into a radio play performed live by Mercedes Azpilicueta, Astrit Ismaili, Nuraini Juliastuti, and Ratu R. Saraswati. Afterwards, Juliastuti is joined by architect, artist, and cultural producer Yazan Khalili for a conversation touching upon the main themes of the book and the resonances across their respective practices. The afternoon is hosted by If I Can’t Dance programme curator Sara Giannini and artist Reza Afisina, with music selection and groovy intermissions by Cempaka.

Once upon a time I wrote my memories of a horse shoe-shaped bench, with a big mango tree, Paulo Freire's "Under the Shade of This Mango Tree", nongkrong culture, friends who are no longer here with us, when we were young and feeling stubborn to live differently, against normalisation, to be standard, though we knew that life was continually demanding us to conform, and being conformist, still we're holding on to the power of being fugitive, fleeting, outsider. #alternatifsebagaistrategi 🥭🥭🥭 @reading_sideways_press

Berita Gunung Berapi: Politik Kebumian pada Zaman Vulkanik, disunting oleh @adambobbette, Mira Asriningtyas @dreamiy dan @ditoyuwono
.
In 1952, the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia published the Berita Gunung Berapi (Volcano News) amidst a condition of near civil war. Indonesia’s first president and revolutionary hero, Soekarno, was struggling to hold the fledgling Republic together. Factions of guerrilla armies and separatist movements were taking up arms to establish their own mini-states. Parts of west Java had been declared independent. The little magazine about volcanoes, which included a unique blend of poetry and profiles of scientists along with gas measurements and reports of trembling grounds, was a surprising appearance in this scene. The editor, Georges de Neve, born in the colony and of Dutch parentage—and likely one of the first European scientists to take up Indonesian citizenship—claimed in the editorial that the Berita Gunung Berapi was a contribution to the nationalist cause. Volcano science, he argued, could unite the post-colony.
.
Here, we are republishing the Berita. But we make it our own. We make it speak to our own confused and tumultuous moment. Consider it the Berita re-considered. Berita Gunung Berapi, again. In the pages that follow we think about what it meant to publish the first Berita, and what it means to publish the Berita now. We situate volcanoes and science in broader conversations about the relationship between politics, the earth, and its interior. We think about unstable geologies, catastrophes and postcolonial futures. Our contributors are interested in how volcanoes are our ancestors, how they are social history materialized and what it means when they are exploited. We are fascinated by the intersections of spiritual and scientific geographies and how they made each other. And ultimately, we wonder what a “cheery” volcanic politics might look like.
