This event addressed how local and situated knowledges of Indigenous communities are often dismissed in the face of development and modernity. We invited Gilung Talang Mamak from AMAN Indragiri Hulu (the Indragiri Hulu branch of the “The Indigenous Peoples Alliance of the Archipelago”, Indonesia) and Yoyogasmana from Ciptagelar (an indigenous community living in the rural valley of the Halimun Salak mountain range of West-Java, Indonesia) to converse about the situated knowledge and practices of their communities, in particular their lives in resistance and their perseverance for their knowledge and land in the face of ongoing destruction, and their relationship to the ecosystems in which they live. The event was moderated by Lisistrata Lusandiana, director of the Indonesian Visual Art Archive, Yogyakarta.
This event took place on: Thursday, 23 July 2020, 16.00-18.00 (+7 GMT)
