Laut Loud with Tau' Riolo A'dendang (t o d)

🇧🇪 · FoAM

Laut Loud ’s fourth and fifth seasons were filmed during last year’s voyage across Sulawesi and Maluku. Then Arka Kinari sailed directly to Australia instead of taking the usual monsoon break, delaying the editing and release. Welcome to the first episode, and Laut Loud is going weirder than ever. I think of Laut Loud as the opposite of TikTok. It is a strike against short attention spans, in fact many of this year’s videos don’t demand your visual attention at all. Put them on and let your mind drift, stare out the window, go about doing things at home or driving or taking public transit. Let it change your brainwaves, even if you don't first understand the music, and might never understand the poetry. Tau' Riolo A'dendang (formerly known as Theory of Discoustic or T o D) first emerged on Indonesia’s nascent indie folk scene with a familiar recipe: subtle guitar picking interspersed with close-harmony vocals.

Introducing Kanvas Mutiny

🇧🇪 · FoAM

After moving this ship sixty-thousand nautical miles, stopping in twenty-five nations, from the tropics towards both poles, our ragged sails could no longer hold up to the wind and had to be replaced. But they will instead keep on traveling as massive works of visual art.

The completed works can tour and exhibit independently from Arka Kinari’s voyage, reaching lands, contexts and spaces beyond the range of the mothership. With an emphasis on bringing the artists onboard as resident sailors, Kanvas Mutiny intertwines artists with the ship’s crew and coastal peoples of Arka Kinari’s Indonesian home waters. The first sail is already in the bag, Swoon just returned to New York City after a residency onboard Arka Kina

Waibao

On our voyage, every invitation is a ‘rezeki’, a blessing and material abundance. As Javanese, we should not refuse a rezeki . We express this in our daily lives, such as considering dust as a rezeki . That means, when sweeping our house, we don’t sweep them outward, instead, we sweep them inward to honor the rezeki that has entered our house. Three years ago, while sailing in the difficult times of the pandemic, we were welcomed by a man named Om Yance. The son of East Timorese regent during the new order era, Om Yance’s father was famous anti-corruption campaigner, despite running the poorest regency in Indonesia. This year Om Yance invited us back to a few spots around Flores, one of them was Waibao village, located on the remote dragon-head peninsula of East Flores. He had a lot to say about Waibao, enough for us to know that this is a rezeki that should be accepted. What intrigued us was the fact that this dragon head area in East Flores was where: 1.
