Projects in Indonesia

Our applied research and creative praxis spans Madihin, collage, creative writing, drawing, animation, co-design, boardgames, comics and superheroes, pottery, wayangs, masks, sculpture, embroidery, batik and eco-printing, zines, and qualitative methods including life story interviews, drawing diaries, participant observation, community, body and counter-mapping, and collaborative creative workshops.

Key co-created initiatives include Trans Superheroes for Climate, the Gender Jeopardy Boardgame, the Kayuh Baimbai Disability-Inclusive Disaster Preparedness Toolkit, Indonesia’s first Disaster Justice Festival, comics on urban flooding and riverside resilience, Women Weaving Movements to Respond to the Climate Crisis: a Fisherwomen’s Festival, and women-led climate innovations including waste banks, climate-resilient food systems, and campaigns promoting sexual and reproductive health and preventing gender-based violence.

Our Indonesia projects centre the lived experiences and intersectional responses to the climate crisis of multiply marginalised communities. These include people with diffabilities, fisherwomen, older people, youth, sexual and gender diverse communities, informal workers, Indigenous people, riverside communities, farmers, and survivors of child marriage and gender-based violence.
