Performance: Datang Untuk Kembali (Arriving to Return) by indieguerillas, Lulu Lutfi Labibi, and Ari Wulu, part of CITIES FOR PEOPLE NTU CCA Ideas Fest 2016/17

Datang untuk Kembali (Arriving to Return) is a collaboration between artist duo indieguerillas, fashion designer Lulu Lutfi Labibi, and music director Ari Wulu. The performance will be presented in the form of a procession of 20 model-performers, moving along a designated route from the exhibitions block of NTU CCA Singapore to various locations in Gillman Barracks, and ending outside Mizuma Gallery. This procession mimics Sekaten, a traditional Javanese ceremony commemorating the birthday of prophet Muhammad that was started by Sultan Hamengkubuwono I (1755–1792), in the alun-alun (city square) of Yogyakarta. The main gunungan (mountain)—which is carried around in the procession as a symbol of wealth and prosperity—will be made of a pile of clothing to be picked and worn by the model-performers as they walk along the designated route. These clothes will be from the “_hYp3<y<lu5_” collection by Lulu Lutfi Labibi in collaboration with indieguerillas. Inspired by our constant need to seek for something that is “hype” at the moment and the never-ending cycle of consumption, this collection features upcycled garments made of second-hand clothes from Singapore found at awul-awul stores in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The soundtrack for this performance will be created by Ari Wulu.
