KUNCI Cultural Studies Center

KUNCI experiments with methods in producing and sharing knowledge through the acts of studying together at the intersections between affective, manual and intellectual labor. KCSC has several programmes such as printed newsletter, website, conference and seminar workshop, and runs a small library on cultural studies.

Since its founding in 1999 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, KUNCI has been continuously transforming its structure, ways and medium of working. Initially formed as a cultural studies study group, at present KUNCI’s practices emphasise on collectivising study, by way of making-space, discussion, library, research, publishing, press and school-organising. KUNCI traverses and connects institutional, disciplinary and local boundaries. KUNCI’S membership is based on friendship and informality, as well as self-organised and collaborative principles.
