Abstract

The resolution of gross human rights violations during the 1965 Tragedy in Indonesia still faces structural obstacles, particularly through legal mechanisms and state policies. In this situation, the victim community has developed alternative culture-based advocacy strategies. Previous research has indicated that artistic activities serve as an alternative means of advocating for human rights victims, healing trauma, and political struggle. This article analyzes Ketoprak Srawung Bersama (KSB), a performance art practice initiated by the victim community under the Joint SekBer'65 Surakarta, as a cultural strategy in human rights advocacy. Using an interpretive qualitative approach with an ethnographic approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. In this analysis, uses Henri Lefebvre's spatial production and Antonio Gramsci's hegemony, as well as Victor Turner's liminality. The results show that KSB functions as a space for the production of alternative narratives, a medium for the negotiation of collective memory, and an affect-based advocacy strategy that challenges the state's hegemonic narrative about the 1965 Tragedy. Performing arts in this context not only represent the experiences of victims but also become a social practice that expands the discourse on human rights in the public sphere, likes agrarian issues, structural inequality, and exploitation. In the performance, the victims of '65 were involved in scriptwriting, acting, and directing. This was a novelty in previous research, which only addressed art as an alternative, but did not show how victims were involved in artistic productions that became a new space for victims of human rights violations.

Abstract

The relationship between humans and the environment has become a central focus in both social and ecological research, particularly among communities reliant on natural resources. This study examines the Sedekah Laut (Sea Alms) tradition practiced in Rowo Village, Kebumen Regency, as a cultural adaptation mechanism to address environmental uncertainty. The primary objective is to understand how this ritual reflects the community’s response to unpredictable natural conditions. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in Actor-Network Theory (ANT), the research explores the interactions between human and non-human actors involved in the tradition, including the sea, ritual objects, community leaders, and local beliefs. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal that Sedekah Laut is not only a symbolic expression of gratitude and spiritual reverence toward the sea but also serves as a practical strategy to reinforce communal bonds and manage uncertainty in a changing environment. The sea is perceived as both a provider and a sacred entity, deserving of respect and offerings. Through collective participation in the ritual, the community cultivates a shared sense of resilience, interdependence, and social solidarity. In conclusion, the Sedekah Laut tradition illustrates how local knowledge and cultural practices can function as adaptive strategies in the face of environmental challenges, offering insights into the dynamic relationship between society and nature as conceptualized through Actor Network Theory.
