Suara Tukang Tua
The Old Constructor's Voice, tracing the physicality of the spoken word.
'Suara Tukang Tua' is an exhibition that descends into the Rumah Gadang, the traditional Minangkabau house, guided by a way of seeing its oral tradition. In this cultural landscape, architecture is not recorded through drawings or formal texts, but fossilised in voice through poems that shape both memory and matter. Through the written expression of this oral tradition, the exhibition explores the physicality of voice as expression, as continuation, as presence. A way to listen with the eyes.
