Ketika Gudskul Kembali Ramai bersama Makmur and Friends
Dalam dua tahun terakhir, jumlah orang muda yang datang ke Gudskul semakin meningkat. Gelombang baru ini tidak lepas dari peran Makmur Djaja, sekelompok mahasiswa dari Institut Kesenian Jakarta (IKJ) yang nekat menyewa salah satu studio di Gudside sejak Agustus 2023. Tak lama kemudian, mereka mengadakan open studio untuk memperkenalkan diri kepada ekosistem Gudskul. Malam pembukaan itu ternyata dipenuhi oleh teman-teman mahasiswa. Sejak saat itu, kehadiran orang muda di Gudskul semakin terasa, meski masih berlangsung secara berkala pada momen-momen tertentu.

From Casco's website: To land again, to find ground—not only beneath our feet, but within. Where do we truly live? After leaving, drifting, or being pulled away—how do we return?
Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons is pleased to announce its 2025 Autumn artistic program, Rerooting in the Polder, an exhibition by Frisian artist and long-term Casco collaborator Unknown block type "
Autumn 2025
Aarden in de Polder at Casco Art Institute, UtrechtWith Aarden in de Polder (Rerooting in the Polder) Wapke’s long-standing engagement turns toward the Dutch landscape, offering particular attention to the distinctive form of the polders: flat, low-lying tracts of land (re)claimed from the sea, lakes, or rivers, made agriculturally productive and protected by dikes, and maintained through an intricate network of canals, pumping stations, and drainage systems.
Wapke has spent several decades investigating the ecologies of land - its physical, mental, and social dimensions - by tapping into local knowledges and engaging with people and the everyday.
Ketika Gudskul Menjadi Ucuy
Saat Dayu baru berusia tiga tahun, ia belum bisa mengucapkan “Gudskul” dengan jelas, yang keluar dari mulutnya adalah “Ucuy”, pelafalan spontan yang terdengar lucu, namun justru terasa akrab di telinga. Tanpa disadari, sapaan “Ucuy” pun mulai digunakan oleh para anggota Gudskul sebagai sebutan baru untuk “Gudskul” dalam percakapan sehari-hari mereka.
Dayu adalah anak dari pasangan Bonit dan Rake. Keluarga kecil ini tinggal tak jauh dari Gudskul. Kedekatan jarak, lingkungan kerja yang fleksibel, serta ketiadaan pengasuh alternatif di rumah membuat Dayu kerap menemani ibunya bekerja.
14:00 Bola Kan Lagi Yuk!
“14:00 bola kan lagi yuk!”
Kalimat ini hampir selalu muncul setiap Kamis pagi di grup WhatsApp Viva Gudskul. Sebuah ajakan singkat sebagai pertanda bahwa hari itu waktunya main bola.
Pukul 14.00 siang beberapa teman dari Gudskul bersama warga sekitar berkumpul di lapangan mini soccer DCM A.K.A, yang lokasinya persis di belakang Gudskul. Kegiatan ini sudah berjalan sejak 2021, dan kini menjadi kebiasaan rutin yang menyenangkan di tengah minggu.
Sepak bola memang menjadi kegemaran banyak orang, mulai dari nonton bareng, hingga main bareng.

In Search of the Inírida Flower
Deep within the heart of the Amazon rainforest, where nature and culture are inseparably linked, blooms the Inírida flower — a symbol of the territory’s richness and vitality. During the COP 16 summit in Cali, this exquisite bloom becomes a beacon of hope, carrying with it the voices and traditions of indigenous communities who have safeguarded these ecosystems for centuries. However, beneath its beauty lies a stark reality: the pressures of unchecked extraction and the urgent need to balance development with conservation.
