Initially formed as a cultural studies study group in 1999 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, at present KUNCI’s practices emphasize collectivizing study by way of making-space, discussion, library, research, publishing, press, and school-organizing. Operating at the intersection of education, everyday life, and theory, KUNCI works between deliberate actions and urgent response, from organizing gatherings around food and text to the shared need for rest.

At HART Haus, Syafiatudina from KUNCI will share their evolving approach to publishing as a social method and institutional form, exploring how writing can build new kinds of shared life by giving forms to things, people, and relations that weren’t recognized before. The session will introduce key past projects while inviting participants to engage with questions of learning, locality, and collective infrastructure. Two members of KUNCI, Maria Uthe and Rifki A. Pratama, will also be present at the session and respond to conversations with the audience.
