Indonesia, like many other developing countries in the world, continues to struggle with an important issue: the availability of food for its people. The open global trading and today’s technological sophistication – with genetic manipulation (GMO, transgenic) – promise new ways and solutions to avoid food scarcity. But, today’s economic globalization and food technology have brought new problems. From seeds procurement, supporting materials, to knowledge about food technology, are fully controlled and regulated by a handful of multinational companies. Food security of developing countries is dependent on the hand of these companies. This problem is compounded by a variety of possible adverse impacts on the environment – both nature and human – health is also affected by the genetic manipulation process.

Agung Kurniawan highlights and asked this issue in his performance art, titled "Masya Allah, Transgenik!" (My God, Transgenic!). Utilizing the first President Sukarno’s speech on the inauguration of Bogor Agricultural University, 27 April 1952 – this performance is a bitter warning and critic towards the issues of food security in Indonesia, particulary when Indonesia is about to celebrate its 70 years of independence.

Agung Kurniawan:Masya Allah, Transgenik!

Special Performance | Opening
