In the 4th edition of Ssuarrasa, featuring Eiliyas from Black Communion Berlin and Mixtape Menage, Ariel prepared a set of un-authentic Indonesian Nasi Kuning, a fragrant yellow rice cooked with turmeric and coconut milk, accompanied by an eclectic side dishes including Ayam Geprek, a spicy smashed fried chicken; Sambal Goreng Okra Tahu, a stir-fry of okra and tofu in a spicy sambal sauce; and Kentang Mustofa, crispy fried potato matchsticks seasoned to perfection. The conversation, which began with a discussion about fried chicken and Pulp Fiction, meandered through various intriguing topics such as the representation of Black people in American cultural products, Eiliyas’s personal artistic practice, and his latest project, Black Communion Berlin.

On 17 March 2022 the casts and crews of Aryati sat down together with Azhari from Soy&Zine to discuss the whole process of making Aryati. From the birth of the idea, turning it into script, composing the music, to the execution of the theatre piece. Aryati is a contemporary theatre piece that juxtaposes the life of Aryati, a woman from the village of Tugu, and the development of Keroncong music against the backdrop of Indonesian history. The work depicts the decolonization process of keroncong music from 1920 to 1990, from a colonial product to a claimed indigenous cultural heritage.
