Immemorial
Curated by Steve Eland (Australia); Sudjud Dartanto (Indonesia)
Immemorial seeks to investigate the commonalities of people from diverse backgrounds and cultures as they consider their ancestral histories and their present notions of cultural identity. Too often, proponents of cultural identity concentrate on comparisons of ‘difference’. In the current global environment, cultural identity can at times be an irrational construct used to champion a particular cause.
Immemorial berupaya menyelidiki kesamaan orang-orang dengan budaya dan latar belakang yang berbeda, sembari menimbang sejarah nenek moyang dan identitas budaya mereka kini. Sering kali para penganjur identitas budaya memusatkan perhatiannya pada perbandingan ‘perbedaan-perbedaan’. Pada lingkungan global sekarang, identitas budaya terkadang bisa menjadi sebuah kontruksi irasional yang digunakan demi kepentingan tertentu.
