Flotsam & Jetsam is the concluding conference of the SNSF-funded project Images, (In)visibilities, and Work on Appearances (ImageApp). It centers the work of visual artists, filmmakers, and photographers engaged with port cities in eastern Indonesia, especially Banda and Ternate. From spices to nickel, colonial maps to contemporary activism, the event explores how places marked by extraction and violence speak through image, material, and movement.

This session explores artistic craft and visual experimentation through work that repurposes materials from till paper, spices, and discarded wood to archival footage and photography.
