Join us as Dr Priyambudi Sulistiyanto shares and discusses two short documentary films, made with Fikri Yathir and Firdaus Muntazar, and funded by Global Encounters Monash project.
These are 'The Traces of Captain Boodieman' (Jejak Nahkoda Boodieman) and 'The Makassans: Past and Present (The Makassans: Dulu and Kini).
Budi will present a view of sharing and discussing the challenges and difficulties for finding the descendants of the trepangers (the Makassans who traveled by sea to find sea cucumbers) in Makassar and South Sulawesi.
The ultimate goals for making these documentary films are to educate the general public in South Sulawesi and Eastern Indonesia, especially younger generations (millennials and Gen Z), so that they can appreciate the people-to- people links established by their ancestors with the indigenous peoples in Northern and Western parts of Australia centuries ago.
Dr Sulistiyanto will also discuss his travel book, Finding Kapiten Boodieman: Catatan Perjalanan Intelektual di Australia dan Indonesia (Diomesia, 2024), based on his investigative journeys across Australia & Indonesia (2022-2024).
*6pm for a 6.15pm start.
*Light refreshments provided.
