Hegemony Life adalah manifests kalimantan “Sejarah ditulis oleh pemenang.” Lewat karya ini, tegaslah bahwa pemenang dalam sejarah (kami) adalah budaya populer. Ini menjadi semacam otokritik untuk tidak masa bodoh dengan masa lalu.

indieguerillas

(Miko Bawono, l. 1975, Kudus & Santi Ariestyowati, l. 1977, Semarang)

Duo seniman Santi Ariestyowanti (Santi) dan Dyatmiko Bawono (Miko) yang sama-sama lulus dari ISI Yogyakarta ini identik dengan perpaduan antara yang tradisional dan yang kekinian. Karya-karya indieguerillas sangat khas mencirikan budaya pop yang riuh dan warna-warni, sekaligus memuat ikon-ikon tradisi yang legendaris. Lewat karya lintas-media, indieguerillas menuturkan realitas mereka, orang Jawa, yang hidup di tengah terpaan gelombang konsumerisme global yang menuntut segala sesuatu serba-instan. Berkarya juga menjadi ritual otokritik dan metode melihat kembali diri sendiri. Bagi mereka, penduduk kota besar tetaplah “orang desa”, hanya tinggal di lokus lebih besar, tetapi mempertahankan cara pandang dan pola pikir desa yang agraris.
