	''When the flood is over'' is a meditation on histories. It is also a meditation on pedagogy – learning history, learning to make and re-make, learning to think across generations and archaeologies of time.''When the flood is over'' dwells on words: on proclamations, writing, speaking, re-telling, and on the processes of making, they precipitate. It follows the complex ways that these processes of making are also entanglements of imagining and re-imagining, within and beyond art.		''When the flood is over'' is a meditation on histories.

==About this articulation==
''When the flood is over'' begins with a question of conservation: how to conserve the extraordinary, vast cycle of dioramas at Museum Sejarah Nasional, located in the underground of Monumen Nasional. These dioramas were made under the supervision of Indonesia’s eminent sculptor Edhi Sunarso (1932-2016) during the 1960s and 1970s and narrate the coming into being of the Indonesian people, Sunarso’s diorama-making involved huge teams of young sculptors and prominent painters following elaborate textual guidance generated by a collective of historians. Pak Edhi himself had stated to President Sukarno that the materials he used to make the dioramas would only last for two decades.

In 2007, an attempt to revisit and revise the dioramas and their conservation was initiated by a collective of historians but nothing proceeded. Recently, an open call was made for architects to propose ‘an update’ of the Museum Sejarah Nasional, including a renewal of the dioramas. Anticipating a careless—or, even worse, ahistorical—move in the name of rejuvenation, ''When the flood is over'' is an independent attempt to conserve these dioramas made in the turmoil of a huge political shift in the mid 1960s. Initiated and worked on by a group of civilians working in solidarity, ''When the flood is over'' is also the realisation that it will be a long-term—if not never-ending—DIY process of copying the diorama figures by hand, one diorama at a time, to slowly generate sets of the dioramas to be stored in the Griya Seni Hj. Kustiyah Edhi Sunarso, in Yogyakarta.

''When the flood is over'' is a meditation on histories. It is also a meditation on pedagogy – learning history, learning to make and re-make, learning to think across generations and archaeologies of time.''When the flood is over'' dwells on words: on proclamations, writing, speaking, re-telling, and on the processes of making, they precipitate. It follows the complex ways that these processes of making are also entanglements of imagining and re-imagining, within and beyond art.
