As a resident artist in the Nandur Gawe 24 program, part of Nandur Srawung #11: “Wasiat / Legacy”, I developed a site-responsive research and installation project at Taman Budaya, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Over the course of two weeks, I worked within the exhibition context as an incubator of ideas, exploring the relationship between artistic practice, collective memory, and political consciousness.

Drawing from my collaboration with the Indonesian art collective Taring Padi and the conceptual framework of the residency, the project examined Indonesia’s recent political history, with a particular focus on the post-Reformasi era following the democratic transition of 1998.

Through archival research, dialogue, and participatory engagement, the work investigated how historical narratives are preserved, transmitted, and continuously reconstructed within collective experience.

The question was introduced as an open invitation to reflection and dialogue through a participatory wall installation mapping significant historical events.

Rather than functioning as a fixed archive, the installation became a living repository of personal memories, perspectives, and responses.

Visitors contributed their own prints, shared experiences, and expanded the historical timeline through both physical and digital forms of participation, transforming the work into a collective act of remembrance.

The project explored protest not only as a political gesture, but also as a form of historical awareness, social responsibility, and collective imagination — emphasizing the role of memory in shaping possible futures.
