Every two years, the 900mdpl project consists of an elongated continuum of smaller events such as multiple-sites exhibitions, a transient museum, public programs, and a publication series. It proposes a possibility to create a growing socially-engaged archive of the village and to preserve the collective memories of the community by bringing together local and international artists for a research residency and production of new work.

In the third iteration, titled “900mdpl: Genealogy of Ghosts and How to Live with Them” (2022); myth, bedtime story, and cautionary tales hold important positions in the discussion. The exhibition was transformed into a process of embodied knowledge transmission: from walking and talking to the tactile experience of being in nature. The process gave a glimpse of ‘laku’ that refers to learnings gained through bodily experiences under specific circumstances, as well as those passed down orally from one generation to another.
