INTERNATIONAL ROAMING SYMPOSIUM
This two-day symposium unfolds as a flowing conversation rather than a formal academic presentation.
The symposium invites artists, thinkers, and practitioners from six Southeast Asian countries to reimagine the region as a network of houses and stages. The program seeks to explore ideas of home and stage – and how they can can shape, disrupt, and reflect the cultural and political landscapes of Southeast Asia.
Day 1
7 August 2025
15.30-17.30 WIB
PDS H.B. Jassin
Unhousing the Region: What, Where and When is Southeast Asia
This panel reopens the unsettled question of "Southeast Asia” – not as a fixed region, but as a moving idea, a method, and an infrastructure of entanglement. What might it mean to "unhouse" the region – to resist fixed identity and refuse post-colonial borders, while opening doors to ways of dwelling together?
Speakers:
Kathleen Ditzig (Singapore)
June Tan (Malaysia)
Helly Minarti (Yogyakarta)
Day 2

Unstable Stages: Who Performs, Who Listens, Who Decides?
Theater is often framed as an infrastructure of gathering. But who is allowed to gather? Who gets to speak, and who remains unseen? This panel investigates the political conditions of performance experimentations in Southeast Asia, especially in relation to censorship, migration, displacement, and everyday resistance.
Speakers:
Kamizu (Myanmar)
