On August 7-10, 2023, Anita Dewi had the opportunity to fly to Lombok for the Sedekah Bumi Project Curator Adin Symposium which is part of the 2023 National Culture Week activities. Anita Dewi got this opportunity from her internship, Kolektif Hysteria, who trusted Anita Dewi to play a crucial role in the implementation of the Sedekah Bumi Project event as an assistant project officer. The cost of transportation, lodging, and meals was covered by the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud), in addition, Anita Dewi also received the honor as Master of Ceremony in the activity.
The experience Anita Dewi gained during the event was invaluable, as she was able to get to know the artists who were part of the 2023 National Cultural Week event, and network with friends from the village power and the community power who were speakers at the symposium. Anita Dewi’s knowledge of earth alms rituals from Indonesia also increased, because the speakers came from various regions, namely Rembang, Maluku, Belitung, Bintan, Buton, Lombok, and the Lembata Culture Guide. The material presented by the speakers opened Anita Dewi’s insight into the traditions and characteristics of each region in Indonesia.
The output of this event is a work that will be designed and created by five artists from Adin’s curatorial that emphasizes and brings the uniqueness of the traditions or rituals of each region. These works will be exhibited at the upcoming PKN 2023 event in Jakarta. This internship activity which became a field practice received the attention of Dr. Sukarjo Waluyo, M.Hum. as the Head of the Indonesian Literature Study Program of FIB Undip. (Anita)
