Beyond Provenance

Beyond Provenance reacts to the Dutch government’s recent intent (2023) of giving back objects it looted from Indonesia. This transnational initiative explores how film and collaboration can reassess narratives around restitution. Shedding light on three recently restituted artefacts with varied histories and uses, Indonesian and Netherlands-based artists-duo teamed up for each artefacts. Three challenging and widely different video works are to be expected about the Durga Mahisasuramardini (Dyantini Adeline [ID] and Vladimir Vidanovski [MK]), the Keris Klungkung (Taufiqurrahman Kifu [ID] and Hattie Wade [UK]) and the Lombok Treasure (Kae Oktorina [ID]) and christopher tym [UK]). This project is initiated by wysiwyg Cinema (The Hague, NL) and Indeks (Bandung, ID).

This discussion is preceded by a screening of Beyond Provenance film compilation, Idak-Idak-Idak (Kae Oktorina, Christopher Tym; 2025), Sharp Objects (Taufiqurrahman Kifu, Hattie Wade; 2025), and The Stone That Remembers (Dyantini Adeline, 2025).
