Yogyakarta-based artist Sirin Farid Stevy

Genre: Visual Artwork; Stories and Testimony
Description: Sirin Farid Stevy discussed his art works and memory work to the participants of Indonesia Knowledge Exchange at his studio, Liberate Studio. Prompted by the desire to understand what had happened to his grandfather in 1965, Farid Stevy traced where his grandfather might have been buried. This endeavour for Farid Stevy was a family mission, including his father and daughter in the tracing to make sure that the intergenerational transmission of family history and memory remain strong even in the face of state violence.
