Currently, we jointly own two organizations (CELM and Graphis Furhara) and provide a public learning space called “Goodscul Ecosystem” that values the values of equality, sharing,
solidarity, friendship, and coexistence. Masu. One of the important initiatives of this place is the “Serarasa Jagacasa Food Lab”. This is in response to the need for food sovereignty in cities that rely on food supplies from other regions, highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The OK.Pangan (OK.Food) ethos, which sees food as a medium and technology that fosters collaboration and interdisciplinary discussion, is also the inspiration for the Food Lab, which addresses food issues in Indonesia’s cities. In response to the theme “Eating” proposed by DEFOAMAT, Luangrupa explored various issues and insights related to the practice of urban agriculture initiated by local communities in Tokyo. This result will be released as Luangrupa’s “Living Room” during the DEFOAMAT period. We aim to continue to develop this experience, knowledge, and relationships in Japan in a sustainable manner.

Ceramics are said to be humanity’s first industrial waste, and are a medium for preserving the memories of people’s activities and cities for future generations. Yayoi pottery has been unearthed a 5-minute walk from Daikanyama Tsutaya Bookstore, the venue for the event, and this has given the city of Shibuya a story from a distant era. This project is an attempt to find a connection to the “distant time” of the future and past through play that derails from daily life, such as crawling into culverts, burning in the streets, and installing works on the streets. The soil used as the material is collected from the Shibuya River culvert. It is said that the Shibuya River was once red due to the precipitation of iron contained in the spring water, and this red (astringent) water is said to be one of the origins of the word Shibuya. Currently, the river is hardened with concrete and capped, so you can’t see the red river, but glimpses of it sometimes seep through the cracks of the city, and red soil flows into the culverts. In this project, in addition to holding a Shibuya River culvert tour (reservation required) as an event that you can participate in, we will also be boiling tea and other drinks over a fire at the open fire venue.
