Menaut Waktu. Merekam Jejak.
(Threading Time. Archiving Traces.)

A collaborative archival and counter-archival exhibition by Jay Afrisando, Ba(WA)yang Production, Teater Braille, SAPDA, and Sedikit Terlibat.

EN

In Menaut Waktu. Merekam Jejak. (Threading Time. Archiving Traces.) disability is seen from the perspectives of decolonisation, anti-ableism, and through inter- paradigm and -disciplinary methods. It invites the public to understand why and how stigma, medicalisation, segregation and practices based on pity still exist until now.

With the use of conventional archives and undocumented experiences, artist Jay Afrisando follows perceptions of disability from pre-colonial, post-independence and present-day Indonesia. The presentation shows the outcome of his archival research at KITLV (Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies) and his field research in Indonesia as part of the Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed Artist in Residence 2025-26.

Afrisando collaborates with Ba(WA)yang Production, Teater Braille, SAPDA (Center for Advocacy of Women, Disabled and Children) and Sedikit Terlibat to respond to archival findings and create a counter-archive together. This presentation is a partial exhibition of the larger one previously held in Yogyakarta. In this space is a video of the virtual exhibition in Yogyakarta for reference.

In Menaut Waktu. Merekam Jejak. (Threading Time. Archiving Traces.) wordt er vanuit een dekoloniaal en anti-ableistisch kader naar beperkingen gekeken. De presentatie nodigt het publiek uit om stigmatisering, medicalisering en segregatie kritisch te ondervragen. Hoe spelen deze een rol in de manier waarop beperkingen tot op de dag van vandaag worden begrepen?

Middels conventionele archieven en ongedocumenteerde ervaringen onderzoekt kunstenaar Jay Afrisando hoe prekoloniaal, postkoloniaal en hedendaags Indonesië kijkt naar beperkingen. De presentatie toont het resultaat van Afrisando’s archiefonderzoek bij het KITLV (Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde) en zijn veldonderzoek in Indonesië in het kader van het Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed residentieprogramma 2025-26.

Afrisando werkt samen met Ba(WA)yang Production, Teater Braille, SAPDA (Centrum voor belangenbehartiging van vrouwen, mensen met een beperking en kinderen) en Sedikit Terlibat om gezamenlijk vorm te geven aan een levend contra-archief.

Deze presentatie is een gedeeltelijke weergave van de grotere tentoonstelling die eerder in Yogyakarta plaatsvond. Ter referentie is er een video van de virtuele tentoonstelling in Yogyakarta te zien.
