Bringing together five films developed through a decade of Yunjoo Kwak’s artistic research, The Chronicle of Boost Barracks traces the entangled histories of Dutch military architecture, colonialism, war, and displacement across the Netherlands, Indonesia, and Korea. Through archival footage, personal testimonies, community-based fieldwork and 3D simulation, the films delve into how historical memory is constructed, contested, and kept alive. The screening will be followed by a discussion with artist and filmmaker Yunjoo Kwak, social geographer Lidya Lestari Sitohang, visual anthropologist Lise Zurné, and independent researcher Anitha Silvia, reflecting on the enduring legacies of colonialism and the politics of remembering.

Surabaya provides a meaningful context for this presentation. A significant site of anti-colonial struggle, the city is also home to Indonesia’s largest naval base and visible reminders of its military past, including Cold War-era monuments along the Kali Mas River. Military, civic and cultural communities in Surabaya continue to engage with the interpretation of history through museums, monuments, publications, films, walking tours and reenactments. The screening and discussion will offer audiences an opportunity to reflect on how these layered histories continue to shape the city and its present.

16.00 – 16.30 introduction
16.30 – 18.00 film screening
18.00 – 18.15 break time
18.15 – 19.30 discussion

Membongkar Stigma, Merebut Kembali Sejarah Politik Perempuan!

Bagaimana narasi sejarah diproduksi untuk melegitimasikan pembungkaman ruang gerak perempuan? Setelah peristiwa 1965, gerakan perempuan progresif dihancurkan melalui propaganda seksual yang memudarkan peran politik mereka, menggantikannya dengan konstruksi perempuan yang sekadar patuh dan domestik (State Ibuism).

Kalyanamitra mengundang kawan-kawan di Surabaya untuk hadir dalam Diskusi Buku “Kuntilanak Wangi: Organisasi Perempuan Sebelum dan Sesudah 1965” karya Saskia E. Wieringa dan mendiskusikan bersama masa depan gerakan perempuan di Indonesia.

Saskia E. Wieringa (Penulis Buku “Kuntilanak Wangi”)
