15.20 – 18.20 Keynotes (and Q & A) in the Main Room:
1. William Anthony Yanko. His subject was Mapping the politics of Indonesian hip-hop. He had interviewed hip-hoppers in various parts of Indonesia. ‘Are there also female rappers?’ he was asked. ‘Yes, but they encounter sexism which sometimes makes them stop’.
2. Elise Imray Papineau spoke about DIY and mutual aid in various social movements. Like the pro-refugee and pro-climate movement in Australia. And craftivism in the Philippines. And women’s abortion rights in Indonesia.
3. Jim Donaghey from Northern Ireland came next. He apologized for not showing any slides. On the days get had planned to make these slides, there was a strike at his university against the precariousness of academic jobs, and he had been active in the strike. He spoke about punk versus neoliberalism. He compared the situation of punks in China and Indonesia on this.
