Declaring Distance: Bandung-Leiden will kick off with an online public program on 8th and 9th of April via Zoom, bringing together polyphonic voices of the Bandung-based collaborators and researchers from KITLV. The series of online roundtables and film screenings will connect local communities and students from Integrated Arts, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung with a wider audience in the Netherlands and elsewhere to exchange ideas regarding issues raised by the presentation.
The presentation running from 8th of April to 29th of May at Selasar Sunaryo Art Space will display a variety of works, studies, and installations made by collaborators from different disciplines; activate pop-up cinemas, musical performances, and culinary experiences based on discoveries of archival materials. These offsite events will form a foundation for visitors in Bandung to stop by, look in, and engage in discussions about shared and isolated narratives from the past through all senses.
Combining off-site and online programs, Declaring Distance: Bandung-Leiden aims to create spaces to imagine how artistic practice relates to archive-collection practice and what possible impact those practices could bring to a broader discourse on history, coloniality, civic rights, ecology, etc. All of the materials generated through the hybrid forms of encounters will serve as future archival resources for Theo to develop his project in the next phase of his residency program in collaboration with Integrated Arts – Parahyangan Catholic University, Selasar Sunaryo Art Space, KITLV and Framer Framed when he arrives in the Netherlands.
Declaring Distance: Bandung-Leiden is part of Theo Frids Hutabarat’s Atelier KITLV annual residency program, in collaboration with Framer Framed. The annual residency program invites one or more fellows, working, in close collaboration with KITLV researchers, on the intersections of arts, social sciences and the humanities.
