The journey made possible by you
Fuel The Boat!
Helping us navigate this journey, one step at a time.
The Tuba Diary is more than just my own story, it is a shared space we are building together in the field. This project moves forward because of the kindness of those who offer a place to rest, the tools to document or even just a simple meal to keep the work going.
Whether you are a partner or a friend, your presence is the "fuel" that helps this boat find its way.

Budi Geng Kita (Oghang tuba)
Ghezeki Tumpang Sekaki
While this mission is driven by art, it is sustained by the kindness of the Tuba community. Support doesn't always come in a wallet. Sometimes it comes in the form of a shared meal, a shortcut through the mangroves or a safe place to rest after a long day of field research.
Are you a Tuba local who wants to help? If you have a space for a traveling artist to tumpang tidur or want to share some kueh spera inti nyoq, keropok lekor or island stories, reach out below:
