Lawik Bakaba is a series of interdisciplinary work, including performance, installation, exhibition, and workshop created by Nasha Bahasoean. This multifaceted work combines live performance with installation, visual projection, film, and choreography. The name, Lawik Bakaba, is taken from Minang language, meaning The Story of The Sea. The performance originated from Minangkabau (West Sumatra, Indonesia) traditions of martial arts, dance and percussion. From a social-cultural and political background, the piece aims to raise awareness about the impact of plastic and other human wastes on the condition of the ocean. The story focuses on a fishing tradition called Maelo pukek, where fishers harvest fish with their fishing net in the shore. Nowadays, these fishermen are struggling to survive as they find more plastic waste than fish in their fishing nets. As a result, they have to manually separate all the plastics waste they found between the fish before selling them to make a living. This event is the outcome of the collaborative work with Nan Jombang Dance Company, Sejauh Mata Memandang and Kausa team, as part of Nasha’s final MFA thesis in Spatial Performance and Design at the Architectural Association School of Architecture.
