prosperity, luck, joy features Siput Lokasari, a Chinese-Indonesian man fighting for justice toward land ownership in Yogyakarta, where ethnic groups cannot own land because of Dutch colonial law. Filmed in the coastal area of Java, the weaving of visual narratives and the character’s own voice enables a collaborative approach and revelation of repressed voices. This performative piece explores the impact of censorship and segregation across generations as a legacy of the colonization era, and how the body endures.
