Resumen

The practice of post-disaster memorialization in Indonesia constitutes a contentious practice in which narratives of loss, culpability, and resilience are actively negotiated. Through analysis of three sites; the state-sanctioned Aceh Tsunami Museum, the community-curated Sisa Hartaku, and the corporately contested Lapindo mudflow, this study demonstrates that memorials function as arenas of political contestation. Official monuments frequently aestheticize catastrophe to advance state-led narratives of national unity and resilience, often obscuring underlying vulnerabilities and issues of corporate accountability. In contrast, grassroots memorialization operates as a form of resistance. These informal sites, shaped by personal and communal loss, commodify trauma not solely for economic purposes but to sustain collective memory, demand justice, and contest enforced oblivion. Memorialization in Indonesia thus represents an ongoing negotiation between hegemonic state power and community agency, positioning the act of remembrance as a significant political instrument for marginalized groups.
