Description
-
The photo depicted Jane Luyke, sitting on the wheelchair, surrounded by her daughter, her son-in-law, and her two grandchildren. Jane came up to the stage to welcome the participants of Indonesia Knowledge Exchange to her home. Jane Luyke is the wife of Oey Hay Djoen, a prominent writer, businessman, and member of parliament who was detained without charge in 1965 and sent to a forced labour camp for 14 years. At great risk to herself, Jane Luyke hid negatives and prints of thousands of photos documenting the activities of the left-wing organization, the People’s Culture Institute (Lekra). Since the late 1950s, she and Oey Hay Djoen were central figures in the daily management of Lekra. Jane’s story reflects a journey from one ‘house’ to another, where each ‘house’ she lived in was home to many people who shared tales of aspirations, experiences, and struggles.
