Kampungku Uripku

In this work, Yustoni Volunteero collaborates with SAKI, a community group from Kampung Ledok Tukangan. This village, in the middle of Yogyakarta, was developed without proper infrastructure planning. Over time, it has become increasingly populated with workers, because of its proximity to the centre of economic activity. These new inhabitants live alongside those who have been there for a long time. Apart from an ever-changing cityscape, due to the increased numbers of multi-storied buildings, relationships between members of society also experience changes. Because of these changes, Volunteero believes that it is necessary that a cultural movement emerge that focuses on archiving the data, memories and oral histories of the local community. These can be used as for community study, and act as a tool in addressing change.
