Since the fall of the Suharto regime in 1998, images grounded in research and documentation have played a key role in challenging repressive historiographies, colonial erasures, and the ongoing ecological destruction driven by extractivism and climate change. This project examines how Indonesian artists and activists use visual practices to expose historical silences and environmental injustices linked to Indonesia’s colonial past and post-authoritarian present. 

Through collaboration between Indonesian and Geneva-based artists and activists, the project brings these imaging practices into public spaces in Geneva as a form of “showing-by-doing.” Original works will be produced and displayed through four modes of address: Talking Walls, Knowledge Walks, Mural Jamming, and an Urban Garden Gallery alongside a project website and Instagram platform. Together, these interventions aim to engage diverse audiences and demonstrate how strategically staged images can make historical and environmental invisibilities visible and open them to public discussion.
