About the project
Dreams Beyond Precious Ruins is the title of this very unconventional archive of speculative history entries. It is run by Indonesian women, all the contributors are Indonesian women, and it is, of course, still about Indonesian women. What I do now is I invite a bunch of practitioners in different fields and with varying preferred media, and I give them pieces of artefacts from the canon archive, which they use to create their own entries.

Each narrative entry is based on archival material gleaned from multiple cultural institutions such as museums and press offices. All the contributors are Indonesian women, reclaiming their history through the multi-ownership nature of stories.

This is a community effort responding to the institutions that dictate what is important enough to be canonized and what should only be alive outside the margins of history.
