Aarden in de Polder at Casco Art Institute, UtrechtWith Aarden in de Polder (Rerooting in the Polder) Wapke’s long-standing engagement turns toward the Dutch landscape, offering particular attention to the distinctive form of the polders: flat, low-lying tracts of land (re)claimed from the sea, lakes, or rivers, made agriculturally productive and protected by dikes, and maintained through an intricate network of canals, pumping stations, and drainage systems. Wapke has spent several decades investigating the ecologies of land - its physical, mental, and social dimensions - by tapping into local knowledges and engaging with people and the everyday.

Ketika Gudskul Menjadi Ucuy

6-1024x768.jpg
Saat Dayu baru berusia tiga tahun, ia belum bisa mengucapkan “Gudskul” dengan jelas, yang keluar dari mulutnya adalah “Ucuy”, pelafalan spontan yang terdengar lucu, namun justru terasa akrab di telinga. Tanpa disadari, sapaan “Ucuy” pun mulai digunakan oleh para anggota Gudskul sebagai sebutan baru untuk “Gudskul” dalam percakapan sehari-hari mereka. Dayu adalah anak dari pasangan Bonit dan Rake. Keluarga kecil ini tinggal tak jauh dari Gudskul. Kedekatan jarak, lingkungan kerja yang fleksibel, serta ketiadaan pengasuh alternatif di rumah membuat Dayu kerap menemani ibunya bekerja.

In Search of the Inírida Flower

Deep within the heart of the Amazon rainforest, where nature and culture are inseparably linked, blooms the Inírida flower — a symbol of the territory’s richness and vitality. During the COP 16 summit in Cali, this exquisite bloom becomes a beacon of hope, carrying with it the voices and traditions of indigenous communities who have safeguarded these ecosystems for centuries. However, beneath its beauty lies a stark reality: the pressures of unchecked extraction and the urgent need to balance development with conservation.
