duduk di tepi

TENGGARONG, INDONESIA, 2018 IACS SCHOLARSHIP

Sitting on the edge of the most intimate to share it with people you have just met, culturally crossing the unknown through the trust of friendship, of family; to whom, after whispering a sincere secret in the ear, remains calm.

Spontaneous collective collaboration project from the Indonesian-Suriname Colonial Borders: Felicia's Story. The personal reading of it and our re-reading from other nationalities-experiences. Possibilities of the shared story. How to live everyday in a country that has your own skin but not your language? Reconstruct Indonesia in first person from the scraps of your grandmother and grandfather's memories. What does kissing with a new language imply, what constitutes me and what narrates differently?
