Meeting and Visit to Bumi Pemuda Rahaju
Today, 6. Feb, we had a good meeting with Kristi and went to visit the Bumi Pemuda Rahaju, 30 min outside of Yogya. We are really looking forward for this collaboration, and that we can use that space for the retreat in the second half of HackteriaLab. A great place for discussions about workshopology, local activities with the community youth in the village and some distance to the making/geek sessions for 3 days. The place has great accommodation for up to 40 people and is all made very beautifully with sustainable traditional materials. No smoking :-)

Meeting with Pak Agung, Kedai Kebum Forum


After some great discussions about the visions of participatory practice and international involvement of artists we finalized our agreement for the collaboration to use HackteriaLab_2014_-_Yogyakarta as a main venue for the temporary lab and public interaction.
