The project takes its name from the demand for the transfer of
power and other things to the newly independent Indonesia in 1945.
It travels through time, from European colonial occupation through
the development of the republican state to the trans-national
contemporary cultures of today. It looks at the various
international exchanges that happened in the territories of
contemporary Indonesia, through the images and ideas of artists.
These exchanges were of different kinds: trade, culture, religion,
ideology and war. They produced a variety of results: violence,
oppression, racism, creativity, spiritual awakening, and other
things. The ideologies and challenges of modernity are common ways
in which Indonesia has been depicted by others and has defined
itself over the period. As this modern period recedes into history,
the project will seek ways to remember how it has influenced
contemporary understanding and ask the current generation of
artists to look back in order to rewrite the past and potentially
create the conditions for a different future. The catalogue and the
exhibition will follow a broad chronological narrative, allowing
readers and visitors to learn more about how this huge archipelago
has changed over the past two centuries and to observe how it has
responded and adapted to influences originating from both inside
and outside the islands. The influence of the imperial Dutch and
Japanese occupations naturally form a significant element in the
narrative of the exhibition as does the constant struggle for
different forms of independence or equal treatment by the Javanese
and other Indonesian cultures. The importance of Chinese and Arab
influence on Indonesia's cultural history will also feature as the
exhibition tries to look for alternative ways, alongside the
post-colonial, for understanding the present. The presentations
will include work made during the residencies as well as new
commissions.
