RUCI x RUBANAH x Griya Seni Hj. Kustiyah Edhi Sunarso x Hyphen— presents
Tokoh-tokoh, pengabdian, dan peradaban
[Figures, dedications, and civilisations]
At once noun and verb, figure refers to both a person and a process—an image and an act of thinking. “Tokoh-tokoh, pengabdian, dan peradaban” unfolds across four interconnected sites—each forming part of a single body of work. Together, these sites trace an ongoing conversation around Sesudah banjir itu (When the flood is over), a citizen-led venture to conserve and contest the cycle of dioramas at the Museum Sejarah Nasional beneath Monas.
These four presentations are not separate exhibitions but chapters in a shared process. Each takes a different position toward the question of how figures—historical, political, or artistic—are made, remade, or erased. Across them, making becomes a way of thinking; conservation, a way of questioning; and collaboration, a way of remembering. The works, discussions, and gestures circulate among sites, refusing the isolation of objects and authorship, sustaining instead a practice of ongoing relation.
