Café Oogst | Suka-Bumi at Pllek

About Café de Oogst

Café de Oogst is a cultural event organized by Suka Bumi that focuses on the visual aspect of storytelling. Stories from Indonesian, Moluccan or Papuan culture are conveyed in different ways. In visualizing stories, we're able to capture them. Expect a program in which makers with different areas of expertise take us through their process and explain how they are inspired by their roots to achieve their 'harvest'.

Why?

What do you see when you pull your roots out of the ground? What aspects of your roots do you want to preserve and cherish? Which one will you leave behind? The harvest represents the visible result of everyone's personal story.

Suka Bumi

Sukabumi is a city in West Java, and its name means 'source of happiness'. Separately, Suka Bumi means 'I love the earth', a reference to the earth where stories have their roots. Café de Oogst arose from the need to bring more work to the attention of makers who incorporate their roots into it.
