Session Description

*Note venue change
This panel focuses on environmental sustainability and community resilience in Indonesia, particularly on local knowledge, grassroots movements, and collective action. The four presenters collectively examine how through common initiatives in the physical and digital space, communities respond to environmental and social challenges. By looking into Indonesian environmental documentaries, communities in the islands of Ambon and Haruku, the Indonesian Peasants Union and the Batin Sembilan indigenous community in Jambi and Jakarta’s urban middle-class, particularly housewives' initiatives like Trash Bank, the presentations in the panel highlight the various ways Indonesian communities respond to environmental challenges, emphasizing on resilience and solidarity.
