About the annotated bibliography

Lorem ipsum

Initiator

The Indonesian Women's Archives and History Space (RUAS) is a collective space for women's critical thinking, run by historians and activist-scholars. RUAS' work includes archiving that is oriented towards memory, activism practices, women's thoughts and feelings, for justice, social, political and cultural change.

RUAS defines archiving-activism as a social movement which documents movements, thoughts and feelings, as well as presenting women's narratives that are overlooked in Indonesia's mainstream history. We aim to care for and recall women's movements as a way to support social change and bring about justice as well as equality.

Alimah

  • Setiawan, Hersri. 1999. Lekra Yogyakarta. Cultural Records.

Alimah was mentioned in Setiawan’s notes about the member of Lekra and the People’s Painting Studio (Sanggar Pelukis Rakyat) as a female surrealist painter with a modest and sharp style. Alimah and her whole body of work have disappeared after the 30th September Movement in 1965 until today.
