Taking place in the context of Taring Padi's exhibition Rakyat Pasti Menang , this conversation brings together journalist Vincent Bevins and academic and writer Soe Tjen Marching to discuss three defining moments in Indonesian political and cultural history: 1965, 1998, and the present day. Bevins is the author of The Jakarta Method , an account of the 1965 mass killings and their role in the Cold War's global anti-communist purges, while Marching's book The End of Silence examines the 1965 genocide through survivor testimony. Their discussion situates Taring Padi's work within this longer history of violence in Indonesia. Doors open at 5.30pm; event starts at 6pm and ends at 7.30pm.
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
