Description
In this episode, we delve into the connection between Indonesia's first feminist, Raden Ajeng Kartini, and the Kendeng movement, through Navicula’s song "Kartini".
The narrative unfolds at the base of the Karst Mountains in Central Java, where women from a humble farming community confronted the threat of a major cement company invading their land. Their courageous protest sparked one of Indonesia's first major ecofeminist movements, capturing the nation's attention.
We also meet some of the remarkable women who have played a pivotal role in Navicula's journey over its more than 25-year career. Former manager Lakota Moira returns, alongside current management team members Intan Paramitha and Humairah. And we gain a unique perspective from ethnomusicologist Dr. Rebekah Moore. This episode also features Sandrina Malakiano, an award-winning news anchor, and Gede Robi, Navicula’s vocalist, and guitarist.
