Our Mountains are Our People

On Saturday, 5 October, 15:00–19:00, the group project Our Mountains are Our People: Instructions for Placemaking kicks off at de Appel. With the title being inspired by Amílcar Cabral’s words on popular involvement in liberation movements, this project underscores the solidarity, resilience, and active participation of people as vital to decolonization. Collectives from Palestine have provided prompts and instructions drawn from their experiences with the land, which artists in Jakarta will interpret and realize over the coming month during the Jakarta Biennial 2024. This collaborative, process-oriented project encourages engagement through various working sessions and will feature presentations, performances, and more.
