Syaura Qotrunadha’s work, The Fattest Land at the Fair is a continuation of her observation on issues surrounding the history of migration and education system in Indonesia. The work itself is a 10 minute video with a performative approach, articulating the inheritance of racist anthropological practices in Indonesia from the late 19th century up to 1959 which remnants are still seen today in various structures and social phenomenon.

This work is supported by Dana SAM as part of Karya Normal Baru / New Normal Work 2020 open call, organised by Jakarta Biennale, Biennale Jogja, and Makassar Biennnale. The Fattest Land at the Fair was selected by Biennale Jogja.
