Syaura Qotrunadha “Triptych”
OPEN SITE 10 | Open Call Program【Exhibition】
Triptych, a three-part video work, explores Indonesia’s education system and social norms, which have been shaped by a history of colonial rule, land appropriation, and visions of the future. Each of the videos depicts a story of resistance to colonial influence in a different era, and reflects on water as both a catalyst for scientific and technological advancement, and as a tool for extracting natural resources from other nations. Through her contemporary art practice, Qotrunadha reexamines history and explores how postcolonial nations can repurpose contemporary science and technology.

Talk “LOCAL SIGNALS/GLOBAL WAVES: Video Technology in Indonesian Artistic Practice”
Qotrunadha, together with two other Indonesian artists who also work with video technology, will hold a talk session. They will discuss the emergence and transformation of video art in Indonesia, the turning points brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the expansion of artistic expression—reflecting on both the social context and their individual practices. Please join us for this rare and valuable opportunity to hear directly from the artists about these evolving dynamics.
