Oka Rusmini: Merekam Luka Perempuan Penyintas Peristiwa 1965
Tempo.co, 21 September 2026: Oka Rusmini - recording the wounds of women survivors of 1965
Tempo.co interview (21 Sep 2026, Yosea Arga) with Balinese writer Oka Rusmini about her poetry book 'Kembang' (28 Aug 2026), inspired by the film 'You and I' on survivors Kusdalini and Karminah. She discusses women's layered trauma, state stigma and sexual violence; one poem evokes the slander of young women prisoners as having killed generals and danced naked. Gerwani is not named.
