Donated photographs from Satrio Panji @satrio_panji "I found these when my mom re-open the family album. These are the photographs of UNS student protest to subvert the New Order Regime in 1998. Both of these photographs were taken by Bernas journalis, Putut Gunawan, my own father. The first photograph is the clash between student and police officers in UNS Boulevard on Mei 1998 the day before Soeharto withdrew from the presidential chair. The second is the student protest in front of UNS Rectorate office on the day when Soeharto receded, Mei 20 1998. "

These photographs show how a family archive is connected to the wider national issue. Besides being published in newspaper, professional photographer might put their photographs in the family album. Their position as a man, as a family member, enables the collision between the personal works and the professional, which then facilitates the space of negotiation, the in-between, the space that connects the very personal one with the professional—and universal—portrayal of the world.

The access to such private—yet also encasing the universal narratives—archive was the effort of searching for alternative perspectives in seeing Indonesian artefact of history. Family narratives, in which the (inter) personal narrative are embodied, functions to support, complete, and even questions the existing Indonesian history.
