Ekstrakurikulab : Kolektif sebagai Sekolah
Ekstrakurikulab : Collective as School

In the 21st century, collective work in art has become a significant trend. Artist collectives and alternative spaces initiate various collaborative programs with a wide audience, not only to produce artistic works but also to fulfill a strong social function through public awareness-based art programs. These programs include exhibitions, workshops, festivals, discussions, publications, research, and film screenings. Through educational and pedagogical approaches, collective art serves as a medium for disseminating knowledge, making it a form of knowledge production.
The Context of Education and Collective Art in Indonesia
In Indonesia, art has yet to become an integral part of primary education, leaving a gap in the learning process for students to understand the world. This gap is addressed by collective art practices, which use pedagogical approaches as a learning medium. Artist collectives leverage art to enhance literacy and build the capacity of their target communities. Some collectives have even experimented with creating schools as an artistic practice, whether through workshops, classes, or other pedagogical methods. Beyond impacting broader audiences, this approach also plays a role in regenerating members within the collective.
For its members, artist collectives become a space for sharing and acquiring knowledge. Thus, the collective functions as a “school” for its members and the wider community. Serrum, as a visual arts study community, responds to this educational context by positioning education as a central issue, aligning with the background of most of its members, who are graduates of the former IKIP Jakarta (Institute of Teacher Training and Education).
Ekstrakurikulab: Filling the Gaps in the Education System
Serrum’s Ekstrakurikulab project, a combination of the words extracurricular and laboratory, aims to create alternative solutions to the stagnation in the national education system. This project seeks to exploit the potential within the gaps of the existing system while also presenting new ideas that can only be implemented outside the formal system.
One of the main activities of Ekstrakurikulab is research and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with artist collectives. These discussions explore knowledge modules implemented in pedagogy-based art programs across various regions in Indonesia. By integrating social and cultural contexts, the laboratory aims to discover innovative methods for disseminating local knowledge.
Research Output: Ekstrakurikulab Book and Website
Based on the research findings, Serrum will produce a book and website titled Ekstrakurikulab. This publication documents the modes of production and distribution of local knowledge applied by various artist collectives and art communities in Indonesia. Through this book and website, Serrum hopes to enrich the discourse on alternative education based on art and to broaden the impact of collective work in the fields of art and education.

This Art Project invites community members to use online channels as a source of independent learning. This art project tries to collect various information on the internet (based on spectacle) and is formulated into a simple curriculum that is personalized according to his interests and talents, as Ki Hajar Dewantara views "LEARNING BASED ON THE INTEREST AND WILL OF STUDENTS". How every human being is able to develop a curriculum for his own needs, because until today we are learners.

This project plans and implements a study model that values and highlights locality for students of particular region. This project is designed performance art as a learning approach, particularly with focus on socio drama. Performance art is considered to be an active, collaborative and inclusive activity for different groups of people. At the Ekstrakurikulab Festival, we will show the design of curriculum and learning equipment for subject Muatan Lokal Tanah. The learning equipment includes a syllabus and comic-shaped modules prepared by Serrum’s collaboration work with teachers and the principal of SDN Jatisura 01. Presentation of this project will also show all the data and artifacts of Serrum’s research in order to explore local treasure in Jatiwangi. Such as the transcribe of interview with local residents, field notes, reference books used, photos of activities,and documentation video of discussion between Serrum and SDN Jatisura 01 in order to construct subject Muatan Lokal Tanah.

Sejarah Idaman aims to develop a learning module focused on history, specifically the history of the proclamation of Indonesian independence. This module provides students the freedom to explore historical fragments based on their interests through activation forms such as visits, discussions, and learning resources including historians, archives, museum curators, and exhibitions like Desas Desus Proklamasi (Proclamation Rumors). Students are then encouraged to articulate their findings through artistic approaches such as infographics, poetry, videos, songs, and other creative formats.
Sejarah Idaman also facilitates the gathering of the Indonesian Association of History Teachers with several historians to engage in discussions and update methods of teaching history, whether broadly or on smaller scales, by examining and interpreting historical events within their social, political, economic, and cultural contexts.

The Covid-19 pandemic is a challenge for various aspects of our lives today. We need to adapt to many things, such as in the world of education. Classrooms in schools are moving from physical to virtual and learning tools are becoming online-based. Likewise the art world, exhibitions are held in virtual spaces and discussions are held online. Collective and collaborative art practices that need to interact with many people also need to adapt, what is the formula for carrying out these practices in the midst of the current pandemic and even in the future when psychology and human behavior have undergone changes due to the pandemic?
Serrum's work is basically based on research on education, although sometimes Serrum does not raise the issue of education, but Serrum always uses an educative method, by exploring, producing and distributing knowledge which in the process requires interaction, participation and collaboration with many people from various elements and backgrounds. . Through this process, the collective presence of Serrum is enough to affect the sustainability of the project or work. When the Covid-19 pandemic made this practice very limited and even difficult to do.
The educational method in Serrum's practice has technical guidelines that can be formulated in the form of modules to be used independently and can be used together. The module functions as an open reference, so it can be adapted to various contexts and developed according to relevance. As in the Science Market work where equality in the exchange of knowledge is a universal notion, the practice can be found similar in various regional and cultural contexts. Likewise, the Ideal School, which tries to accommodate students' imaginations about the ideal school for the students themselves. Imagination and students as subjects are important points in formal learning in schools.
At this Curriculum Moving Class exhibition, the module has been the most effective way so far to answer the challenges of Serrum's practice in the midst of a pandemic. Modules can be run by anyone, can be adapted to local contexts, and can be continuously shared, adapted and distributed. In a pandemic situation for almost two years, the knowledge market has also been conducted online using a virtual meeting platform. The pandemic can be a moment for us to interpret today's media, such as how to form an equivalent digital transformation.
The Moving Class Curriculum is a mobile learning space that can be done independently or collectively and can be mobilized as needed. Learning space in the sense of an inclusive knowledge meeting point. Moving in the sense of an active and progressive space. The class is imagined not only attached to the instruments that are present in the room and learning tools provided, the class can move more progressively to potential and sustainable knowledge meeting rooms.

Since its inception, schools in Indonesia have never involved their participants—particularly students—in determining the structure and rules to be implemented. Schools, with their various configurations, have transformed into a predefined ideal presented to society.
The Laboratorium Sekolah Idaman (Dream School Laboratory) seeks to disrupt this conventional school construction logic. Instead of imposing a set of concepts on the community, it gathers visions and imaginations from the perspective of students. Serrum employs a method of discussion with students to explore their imaginations about schools in three aspects: culture, systems, and physical structure.
This laboratory is conducted for high school students (SMA) within the areas of Jakarta, Tangerang, and Depok. The selection of schools is based on several considerations, including the students’ socio-economic backgrounds, their cognitive tendencies, and the school’s approach to building its institutional culture.
Different methods of looking at educational issues in a different way and involve students direct
- Become a facilitator for students by providing input and creative output
- Become a facilitator for students by providing input and creative output
- Invite students to think laterally
- Provide an inspiring artistic experience.
- Encourage the development of creative arts and education
- and participatory.
Pasar Ilmu
Pasar Ilmu
In 2015, at the Biennale Jogja, Serrum exhibited the work of Pasar Ilmu (Knowledge Market). The Knowledge Market was initially an experimental module designed by Serrum, emphasizing learning interactions based on the principles of supply and demand. Experiments were carried out by conducting interviews with people from various professional backgrounds.
"What do you need to learn?"
"If you were given the opportunity to share your knowledge/expertise, what would you share?"
These two questions become the trigger which is then mapped and translated into a curriculum. This supply and demand-based curriculum can be a more effective way to connect people's interest in knowledge exchange.
In its development, the Knowledge Market is more fluid and uses space and time to encourage exchanging knowledge between two or more people. By inviting two people together at random, the negotiation process becomes more open and direct. The knowledge market is exhibited in several exhibitions, one of which is the 2017 Asian Art Biennale.

Rupamatika is a project that combines the Mathematics curriculum with the application of fine arts which results in a more "asoy" method in learning mathematics. It was first initiated by MG Pringgotono and Oktiza together with ESOA (Erudio School of Art) and Serrum schools. This method has been applied at ESOA since 2013.
