Film ini menelusuri sejarah dan praktik Museum Loka Budaya Universitas Cendrawasih di Papua—sebuah institusi yang berkaitan dengan warisan Arnold Ap dan kelompok budaya Mambesak—melalui ruang, komunitas, dan teknologi media. Keterkaitan antara pengetahuan dari benda-benda sakral kebudayaan Papua dan praktik kesekarangan menjadi titik masuk untuk melihat hubungan lintas generasi. Menggabungkan performativitas dan intervensi media, film ini mempertanyakan logika kolonial yang melekat pada institusi museum.

This film traces the history and practice of the Loka Budaya Museum at Cenderawasih University in Papua—an institution linked to the legacy of Arnold Ap and the cultural group Mambesak—through spaces, communities, and media technologies. The relationship between knowledge embedded in Papua’s sacred cultural objects and contemporary practices becomes an entry point to explore intergenerational connections. Combining performativity and media interventions, the film interrogates the colonial logic embedded in the museum as an institution.
