The Banda Journal is a project by Muhammad Fadli that aims to be presented in the form of a multimedia website–but never finished. Six years later–the book was published instead. Feeling that his debt was still unfulfilled, Muhammad Fadli revisit his intention to fulfill his intention to complete The Banda Journal website.

NEW EVENT
|
SPINE HALF FULL is a non-profit initiative by Jordan, jordan Édition, and Sunset Limited to discuss editorial design, especially its application on Photo-books, pivoting its purpose, positioning, and how it exceeds limitation as a medium that once was quite modest with speakers from around the globe, making it accessible to gain more insights on that matter. The program will be hosted by Jordan Marzuki, Fandy Susanto, and Tasia Sugiyanto. |

Muhammad Fadli came to Banda when storm season was at its fiercest. At times like these, only the most fearless fishermen are willing to sail through the Banda Sea, and curiously, Banda attracts many people of this type. He came face to face with the rage of the Banda Sea in its truest form. The seven meter long boat that Fadli boarded was at the mercy of the great ocean swells. He recounted how the tongue of the wave spilled into the boat, and how all the passengers desperately called on God, some even praying aloud—to the point of shouting—while quoting holy verses as the blood drained from their faces. Meanwhile, in faraway Jakarta, Fadli’s first daughter was only three months old. He swore never to return to Banda. However, that oath was eventually put aside. In the middle of 2015, Fadli and Fatris MF decided to collaborate on a project we named The Banda Journal. Over the course of six journeys to and from Banda, he used up 150 rolls of film. In an age of instant gratification, he still enjoyed outdated technology with all the problems that came with it. |

Fantaisie Érotique is a zine telling curated erotic stories that happen in today’s society. It is meant for all orientation regardless of social strata and phases in life; from coming-of-age to old age. Stories come from diverse communities, including the country with rising conservatism; Indonesia—where sex is considered a taboo—to the most culturally-open, such as Japan. |

Indonesia cannot be understood solely through formulas, economic growth, bustling markets, and cities that bloom and sprawl across the landscape. Indonesia is also full of desolate places and obscure, isolated islands—places that sometimes paint the image of an unfortunate country. Surrounded by deep and wild seas, the Banda Islands is one of those forgotten places. But contrary to its present-day condition, the tiny archipelago was in fact coveted and fought over by powerful Western countries. The reason was a rare commodity that flourished on these tiny islands—spices. |
