Of Other Tomorrows Never Known
Multiple origins, 2023

Natasha Tontey
Running time
16 mins

In Minahasan cosmology, technology emerges through culture, healing, and astronomy. Practices like the ritual Makatana understand technology as pharmakon—both risk and remedy. As industrialisation reshapes land and power, Makatana revisits ancestral knowledge of celestial calculation and healing to question mechanisation and seek alternatives grounded in balance between human and nonhuman worlds.

Director Bio



Natasha Tontey (b, 1989) is Minahasan artist based between Yogyakarta and Jakarta. Her artistic practice predominantly explores the fictional accounts of the history and myths surrounding ‘manufactured fear.’ In her practice, she observes any possibilities of other futures that are projected not from the perspective of major and established institutions, but from a subtle and personal struggle of the outcasted entities and beings.
