[Recording] Mapping Memories: Mass Graves from the 1965 Indonesian Genocide

Recorded 10.01.2024

Between 1965 and 1966, some 500,000 to one million people accused of being members of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) were systematically killed and buried in mass graves across Indonesia. Most of the graves are still unmarked and only known through oral history.

This talk by Bedjo Untung and Aldo W. Foe discussed the importance of mapping in preserving memories and the continued efforts of survivors to seek justice for the victims of the 1965 Indonesian Genocide. Margaret Scott, NYSEAN co-founder, moderated the discussion.

This event was hosted by the NYSEAN and sponsored by NYU Wagner.
