Many young people today may only think of the May 19 Incident as a collection of dates, name of people, and historical archives a fair distant from their daily life. Not all people could smell the stench of fire burning, hear gunshots, or live in fear as previous generation experienced. Yet oddly enough, the wound remained fresh, even for those born after the reform or who were too young to remember.

The revision of Election Law No. 7 Year 2017 was important issue in national political debate. The discussion about changes in election rules not only happened in Parliament’s House, but also amongst academics, civil society activities, to democracy-watch organisations. Many parties thought that the Indonesian election system needed serious update because it had stagnated and too pragmatic in its practice. This was exemplified by what Perludem (Association for Election and Democracy) did recently.

Sexual violence continued in silence inside the seemingly respectable walls of campuses, Islamic schools, government offices, and family houses. Cases kept coming. A university student became victim to her lecturer, Islamic student experienced violence at the hands of their teachers, employees were forced by employers through work relations, and children became victims of their own family. They all showed a similar pattern that power relation made it difficult for victims to fight back and to speak, and so they chose to stay silent.

Film Pesta Babi not only presented a story about Papua on screen, but also opened past wound and memory that lived in silence. Maria Sucia worked on Papua issue since 2012 and used to live in Asmat, and found it difficult to describe her experience watching the film. She felt suffocated, angry, and bitter fact that not much had changed since many years ago. Her description served as an opening to discussion moderated by Sonsky Mardika after the film presentation at Lokananta, on Sunday (10/5).
