About the play:

A kidnapping goes wrong when nobody is willing to hand over the demanded ransom.

In a gripping two-hander performed by Dana Lam and Saifuddin Jumadi, searing class and racial tensions collide.

How much is a person’s worth to another? Who remains a larger hostage?

Ransom was first developed under Jalan Besar Salon's 2020 Radical Transparency open call. Find out more about that process here - https://www.jalanbesarsalon.space/euginia-tan

Ransom
by Euginia Tan
Directed by Hazwan Norly
Performed by Dana Lam and Saifuddin Jumadi
Production Managed by Bib Mockram
Produced by Pearlyn Tay & Theo Chen

The Kresek Bundle includes 1 copy of Kresek - Daily Life of Plastic Bags , 1 limited print postcard with original artwork by Cynthia Delaney Suwito , and 1 limited edition handmade totebag.

The totebag comes with a concealed inner lining made of plastic that crinkles, as a nod to the title of the book. Handmade from cotton, this totebag comes with hand frayed detailing and various hand painted expressions in the style of a plastic bag.
-----
Kresek - Daily Life of Plastic Bags (Kresek) by Artist Cynthia Delaney Suwito is now available on .co . The name Kresek signifies the rustling of plastic bags in Bahasa Indonesia. The comic revolves around the little movements of the plastic bag. Extending from Cynthia’s core artistic interest to explore subtleties of everyday life and the experience of time, Kresek investigates the latent life of an everyday object- the plastic bag and its place in today’s culture by giving it a face and a personality.

Things/Stuff/Objects by Cynthia Delaney Suwito
Open Studio at Jalan Besar Salon

30th October 10:30AM - 6PM
6th November 12PM-7PM

Things/Stuff/Objects is a residency showcase with Cynthia Delaney Suwito that would include a preview of the upcoming independent publication, Kresek - Daily Life of Plastic Bags.

​Kresek - Daily Life of Plastic Bags is an independent publication by Cynthia Delaney Suwito in the form a light-hearted wordless comic. The name Kresek derives from the rustling of plastic bags in Bahasa Indonesia. The comic revolves around the little movements of the plastic bag. Extending from Cynthia’s core artistic interest to explore subtleties of everyday life and the experience of time, Kresek investigates the latent life of an everyday object- the plastic bag and its place in today’s culture by giving it a face and a personality.

With the prompt to participate in an island-wide open studio, Walk Walk Don’t Run ( ), Cynthia Delaney Suwito ( ) is invited to present in the open studio in Jalan Besar Salon. With the limitation of space and social gathering in the time of pandemic and the shifting geographical locations between the programmer and the artist, we expand the format of the residency and experiment with a new mode of presentation.

This open studio will mark the start of a 3 month long project between Cynthia and JBS in which a light-hearted wordless comic, Kresek, will be independently published. Drop by on 30th October between 10:30AM to 6PM to see her work-in-progress and to learn more about the collaboration!

Thank you to everyone who came for the opening of 10 Daughters today.

We are thankful that in the midst of H2A, we are able to go ahead with the presentation as planned. Only one more day before we close at Objectifs - Centre for Photography and Film, we hope to see you in the space, open from 11am to 10pm tomorrow.
