GARDIKA GIGIH EXPLAINING TO PARTICIPANT
Listen. Observe. Respond.
This immersive workshop invited participants to slow down and shift perspective, placing nature not as backdrop but as protagonist. Born from the research and creative journey behind the Bakawali films, this workshop wove together art, sound, and the living rhythms of the natural world into a single afternoon of deep attention.
Along with our collaborator Gardika Gigih, participants were guided to draw on their own memories and experiences of nature as a wellspring for creative movement — letting personal history and sensory recall become the raw material of making.
Each participant also received a zine — a tactile, handcrafted record of the research, images, and discoveries gathered across the Bakawali project.
Part workshop, part meditation, the session was a reminder that the most extraordinary creative territory is often the one directly beneath our feet.
