These artists have consistently explored Indonesia\u2019s anti-communist killings of 1965-66, that has been considered as \u201cone of the worst mass murders of the 20th century.\u201d Scholars have considered Indonesian visual arts as reflecting changes that happen within Indonesian society. Indeed, Indonesian artists have drawn their inspiration from historical, cultural and sociopolitical changes, both visually and conceptually. However, little scholarly attention has been paid about the aesthetic impact of these changes. In this regard, the presentation will use the term \u2018After 1965\u2019 to describe the impact of Indonesia\u2019s anti-communist killings on selected practices in Indonesian contemporary art. The presentation will consider the strategies and challenges in the representation of the mass killings and its attendant trauma through a discursive approach in the practices of these artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>This event is addressed to HIAS fellows and their tandem partners.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide Pattern-Image-Credits Accordion Accordion--accordionList Accordion--imageCredits has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide Accordion__list is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group Accordion__item has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f36ac205 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading Accordion__title has-xlarge-font-size\">Image Information<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group Accordion__wrapper has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group Accordion__content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rangga Purbaya, <em>The Dangerous Years: The Nameless Faces \u2013 The Faceless Names<\/em>, 2022-ongoing, multimedia installation.
