SUMMARY:Contemporary Wayang Workshop by Jumaadi
DESCRIPTION:On 12 and 13 May\, SEA Junction will host a unique contemporary wayang (shadow puppet) play by Indonesian artist Jumaadi (see bio below) in collaboration with the “Shadow Factory” collective of East Java. There will be 4 performances\, twice every afternoon at 2 -3 PM and at 5.30-6.30 PM\, while in the morning there will be workshops on making contemporary wayang 11.30 AM – 1 PM. \nJumaadi’s wayang \nThe play entitled “The Well and the Gold Nugget” is inspired and brings to life the true story of villages in Sidoarjo\, East Java swallowed by mud. Homes\, places of worship\, schools\, playgrounds\, small rivers\, rice fields\, historic sites and thousands of memories were buried forever. Many varieties of indigenous plants and animals also became extinct. Community social structures broke down and villagers lost trust amongst themselves\, particularly over the issue of compensation for their loss. This incident – which occurred on a mythical scale in 2006 – was the result of a technical fault by the mining company which to date has yet to find a way to stop the never-ending flow of mud (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidoarjo_mud_flow). \nIn the wayang performance the fantasy story is told of the Bongol family who have a well of natural water near their house. One day a paranormal predicts that there is a gold nugget the size of a human head in the well.  However\, before the nugget is removed\, an offering of one buffalo and nine pure white chickens must be made to a spirit family which inhabits the well. Initially\, the villagers agree to leave the gold nugget alone. Though eventually one of the village elders agrees to follow the advice of the paranormal and remove the gold. Extracting the gold from the well requires heavy equipment\, for neither human or supernatural powers are strong enough. Once the heavy equipment is deployed at the well\, the water turns saline and the villagers begin to panic. Not only is salt water coming out of the well but the water is mixed with oil. Eventually mud begins to erupt from the well and floods their rice fields and other crops\, and begins to seep into their houses\, first to knee height\, then higher and higher till the homes are buried. The constant flow of mud even rises to the roof of their mosque\, so that only the dome is visible\, and even that is finally swallowed along with several villages and their memories. \nThe performance in English language relies very little on verbal language or narrative in an attempt to encourage the audience to appreciate and interpret the pictures and sounds created specially for this show. The wayang are made from paper\, recycled cardboard\, animal hide; some are cut and chiseled to produce detailed images while others are roughly and spontaneously shaped. These forms are then performed using an overhead projector as the light source. Fleetingly this wayang performance bears a resemblance to silent films or appears like a series of drawings shown one after the other as if in a slide show. \nFor the SEA Junction performance\, Jumaadi is the artistic director and shadow puppet performer. He is accompanied by the music of Shadow Factory\, based at Rumah Kayu Pecantingan in Sidoarjo\, East Java. The members of Shadow Factory are composer Suwandi Widianto\, musician Catur Fredy Wiyogo and production manager Meteor Amang Rosada. \nAbout the Artist:\nJumaadi was born in Sidoarjo in East Java\, Indonesia\, in 1973. Recipient of the inaugural John Coburn Emerging Artist Award in 2007\, he earned his MFA the following year from the National Art School in Sydney\, Australia. His work spans a variety of mediums\, including painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, poetry\, photography\, and performance. He has held residencies and presented his work all over the world\, including Malaysia\, China\, the US\, the Netherlands\, and different parts of Australia and Indonesia. In 2013\, he was selected as one of five artists to represent Australia at the Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art. These days\, Jumaadi largely divides his time between Australia and Indonesia.

SUMMARY:Public Talk “The Impact of Duterte’s Economic Policies on OFWs and their Families”
DESCRIPTION:On 12 May early afternoon ( 3 PM – 5 PM)\, ANAK will organize a public talk examining the Philippino government policies on overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) at SEA Junction.  From the very beginning OFWs have played a central role in Duterte’s campaign and eventual presidency.  Many of Duterte’s subsequent policies would often use as inspiration the plight and needs of OFWs and their families.  But a closer examination of recent economic data—as well as Duterte’s prized economic policies such as the new tax reform law (TRAIN) and “Build\, Build\, Build”—tells a different story.  Whereas a weaker peso increases the value of OFW remittances\, skyrocketing inflation at home—partly borne by Duterte’s policies—erodes the purchasing power of such remittances.  In addition\, recent diplomatic troubles in the Middle East betray the Duterte government’s poor understanding of OFWs’ motivations to migrate and a casual regard for their safety and economic security. \nThe speaker JC Punongbayan is a Ph.D. candidate and Teaching Fellow at the University of the Philippines School of Economics (UPSE).  He graduated summa cum laude and valedictorian from UPSE in 2009\, and was awarded the José Encarnación Jr. Award for Excellence in Economics and the Gerardo P. Sicat Award for Best Undergraduate Thesis.  He later obtained his M.A. degree from UPSE in 2013\, and has since been able to teach microeconomics\, macroeconomics\, development economics\, and the economics of the Marcos regime.  His professional experience spans the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)\, the World Bank (WB) Office in Manila\, and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).  JC also regularly writes economics op-ed pieces for Rappler.com.  His research interests revolve around development economics\, education economics\, political economy\, and regional development.  His Ph.D. dissertation\, in progress\, focuses on the inequality of access to higher education. \n \nFor information/reservation for our events please email southeastasiajunction@gmail.com or phone/wa: +66970024140 \nNB: Events are free\, but donation most welcome! \nOrganizers \nThe Advocacy Network against Killings in the Philippines (ANAK) \nANAK is an informal group of Thailand-based Filipinos deeply concerned about the human rights situation in the Philippines.
