ABSTRACT
This chapter begins with an account by Prodita Sabarini, a co-founder of Ingat65, which explains how the group was formed. It provides vignettes from the group, written by Ellena Ekarahendy, Ika Krismantari, Febriana Firdaus, and Rika Theo. The chapter examines a handful of vignettes of personal stories and analysis. It analyses the stories from the Ingat65 archive and social media engagement. Indonesia is a country of young people. All of them have inherited a system that was built on the violent destruction of not only a political group, but also the destruction of political consciousness and agency. The Suharto regime collapsed in 1998 after the Asian financial crisis without ever having to account for the massacres of 1965. The country is ruled by people who benefited from the weakening of civil society. Ingat65 is an attempt to re-gain our political consciousness and political power through the collective act of reflecting and remembering the 1965 massacres.
