Bakudapan
BAKUDAPAN is a study group that discuss ideas on food. In Indonesia itself studies on food has not yet be a discussion. Even so, we believe that food cannot be only about cooking and history, conservation and introduce it to the world. Food can be also an instrument to speak about broader issues, such as politics, social, art, and culture. As a study group we were open for those who would like to join with our projects and activities, despite their backgrounds. Our member itself has diverse backgrounds; photographer, researcher, college student, merchandiser, and an artist. For instance, in order to run each project, we also possess diverse methods depends on each interest. Basically, our project start could be identified as a research project. However, we were trying to experiment with multidisciplinary practice to execute it. Our first project “Fast and Foodrious”, we began by held several discussion and reading group, but we also had exhibition, performance and workshop, as part of our approaches to gather data. For example, we held a “performative dinner” where it represent our preliminary findings from our research process. In the end of every projects, we will make a journal to sum up our entire process and result.
