In 2016, Indonesian artist Julia Sarisetiati and her friends collaborated with Indonesian migrant workers in the South Korean city Ansan to develop the project Indo K-Work, [www.indokwork.com](http://www.indokwork.com/) and , an online platform for which the workers become active agents, gathering and sharing knowledge and information acquired from their daily lives and labor experiences. PULANG PERGI (Round Trip, 2019-present) is inspired by this previous project.
Our goal was to create an online platform for knowledge sharing amongst Indonesian migrant workers who are currently still abroad, and those who have returned home; focusing on the variety of bottom-up economic reintegration practice possibilities. These bottom-up types of knowledge are particular and quite difficult to formalize as it always depends on the specific geographical, environmental, social, and political context. The platform is also an attempt to answer the question whether it is possible or not to codify tacit knowledge (so that it would be transferable/be translated).
Leaving and returning play a certain role in the life cycle of low-skilled workers in Indonesia, and pose a challenge as the sustainability of reintegration (both in the home or destination country) are not guaranteed. Not until 2010 did the Indonesian government start thinking of their reintegration in their home communities (socially, economically, etc.), but still returnees often lack information about state-led initiatives which most of the times are even not suitable for them. Only a small portion of returnees have successfully (economically) reintegrated in their respective regions. Their bottom-up knowledge and experiences are valuable to share with other migrant workers who, for example, are currently still abroad.
PULANG-PERGI aims to be a platform where previously un-codified knowledge can be articulated, accumulated, and distributed, making it accessible and initiating an endless dialogue among those who currently are abroad with those who have returned.
