Tentang Artefacting Mumbai
Pada
dasarnya proyek seni ini menggunakan seni sebagai penggambaran tentang sebuah
pemukiman kumuh yang dalam keadaan
mengenaskan karena digerus oleh proses urbanisasi di daerah miskin terbesar di
Asia di distrik Dharavi’s 13th Compound di Mumbai, India.
Perupa dan
aktivitis urban dari AS, Alex White Mazzarella dan rekannya city
planner/photographer Casey Nolan dengan sepenuh hati berinteraksi bersama warga Dharavi. Mendokumentasikan
dan memanifestasikan pengalaman mereka sendiri, dalam melihat prespektif
kemanusiaan, identitas, energi serta budaya lokal lewat karya seni.
Mereka mencipta
lukisan mixed media dengan produk percampuran
serta energi warna lokal untuk mengeksplorasi transmisi tempat, fenomena
manusia, realitas eksistensial distrik Dharavi dan berbagai situasi ekstrem daerah
slum di Mumbai. Menyediakan ruang,
melihat secara mendalam dan memancing diskursus soal kemungkinan kemajuan,
komunitas, masyarakat dan pertumbuhan.
City planner dan filmmaker Casey Nolan
yang berasal dari Portland Oregon
merekam dan menyediakan narasi dengan
teknik foto jurnalisme.Artefacting Mumbai lebih dalam ingin berbagi bagaimana
perupa atau pekerja kreatif membawa harapan apa yang sesungguhnya bernilai dan penting bagi hidup manusia dan
komunitasnya, seperti: cara manusia berbagi dan peduli dengan sesama.
About Artefacting Mumbai
Basically this art project exercises art as an
illustration of a heartbreaking slum marginalized by urbanization process in
the biggest poor area in Asia, Dharavi’s 13th Compound district, in Mumbai,
India.
Artist-cum-urban activist from USA, Alex White Mazzarella and his partner,
city planner/photographer/filmmaker Casey Nolan, wholeheartedly interacted with
Dharavi locals. They documented and manifested their own experience in seeing
humanity, identity and local culture in perspective, via their works.
They created a mixed-media painting with combined products
and the energy of local colors to explore location transmission, human phenomenon,
existential reality in Dharavi district and various extreme situations in
Mumbai slums.
They provided a space, looked deeper and encouraged a discourse
about a possibility of advancement, community, society and growth.
Portland-based Nolan recorded and provided a narration with photojournalism
technique. “Artefacting Mumbai” aimed to share how artists and creative workers
bring hopes about what truly matters and what is valuable for humankind’s and
the community’s lives, such as: how people share and care about each other.
