members of Taring Padi activate art as a form of creative resistance

August: Taring Padi and Justseeds present a visual protest of proposed LNG pipelines

Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative is a decentralized community of artists who have banded together to both sell their work online in a central location and to collaborate with and support each other and social movements.

Taring Padi is self-described as an “independent non-profit cultural community based on the concept of people’s culture.” They arose in Indonesia in 1998 in the midst of major social uprising and political reformation when the corrupt Indonesian dictator President Surharto was forced out of office by a popular people’s movement.

The men and women of Taring Padi have survived slanderous accusations, government repression, and fundamentalist violence in order to stand up against capitalist and imperialist oppression. In an effort to educate and inspire fellow Indonesians and the world, they use the power of art as a cultural tool. Their large woodcut prints communicate directly to their local community, but their message speaks to us all, tackling issues of human rights, corruption, global warming, women’s liberation, land use and food security.  Twenty-eight of these iconic and powerful prints are currently held in the International Archive of Social History in the Netherlands.

Signal Fire brings artists to the farthest stretches of our remaining wild and open places. This summer, Signal Fire’s residency will take eight artists to the Mt. Hood National Forest and provide them with food, maps, a bicycle, battery power, and a large 12×12 studio tent to make artwork in. The exhibit at SEA Change will showcase this year’s artists in residency.
