Kartini

Raden Ajeng Kartini died in 1904, at the age of 25, after writing letters that became the founding text of Indonesian feminism. A hundred years later, a group of farming women from the Kendeng region of Central Java put their feet into blocks of cement and stood in front of a state palace — because a cement company wanted their land, and they refused to give it.

The final episode of the season connects the two. Ethnomusicologist Rebekah Moore, journalist Sandrina Malakiano, former Navicula manager Lakota Moira, and the Kendeng management team walk through a movement that has become one of Indonesia's most visible ecofeminist protests — and what it means when resistance is done slowly, with the body, in public.
