Speaking Landscapes -Kalisat Tempo Dulu 10
Moveland Video 2"56 (2025)
Artistic Research and Exhibition in Landscape.
Invited by Sudut Kalisat (Jember, East Java, Indonesia)
"Jember has been a plantation metropolis since colonial times. Coffee, rubber, tobacco, and cocoa have become ingrained in the minds of Jember residents, whether they have lived in plantation areas or not. More than just an economic function, the plantation landscape is a living archive of how the land is managed, who controls it, and how humans coexist with, or conflict with, nature and the massive production system.
"Speaking Landscape" is a major theme for Kalisat Tempo Dulu 10, which seeks to unpack the larger narratives embedded in this landscape. This program seeks to position the landscape itself as a central actor: vast tobacco fields, harvest distribution routes, remnants of colonial infrastructure, and even the morphological changes of villages due to land concessions."

Structured in seven chapters, the publication brings together Dutch archives, photography,
and outcomes from artistic research. Each chapter offers a layered connection in historical
context, resistance stories, and visual materials. The chapters reflect a fragmented yet coherent
view of how art can become a method of intervening in and rearticulating histories that
have been silenced or distorted by colonial and state structures.
