In this stunningly exhilarating audio travelogue, the artists of Arka Kinari, lands on the coast of the whaling village of Lamakera, at the eastern edge of Indonesia. In this beautiful & remote terrain, they find themselves negotiating between the terra of land and sea, tradition and preservation, and the capacity for human resilience.
Subversive, immersive and partially submerged, Arka Kinari is a floating cultural platform launched by the artists Filastine & Nova, a seventy-ton sailing ship on a voyage to promote resilience to climate change and re-engagement with the sea. By day Arka Kinari hosts workshops, skill shares, and small concerts by local musicians. By night the ship transforms into a stage for a live performance using music to sound the alarm for climate change and cinematic visuals to imagine life after the carbon economy. As a touring production powered by the sun and shared at public waterfronts, Arka Kinari is both message and method.
