Subject: Glimpses of Pasar Kapan



Dear Sara,

Here some glimpses of Pasar Kapan, a weekly market which takes place every Thursday in North Mollo. Strange and familiar encounters with things, voices, people, gestures. Traders-travellers. The hearts of bananas, papaya flowers, young stems of pumpkins, cassava leaves. The sound of the man selling medicines blaring from the microphone. I thought it was a radio 📻 broadcasted from the market for the market people. And street supermarkets which seemed to emerge just like that amidst the hilly green landscapes. Routines and regularities. 🫀🍌🌶️🥔🥜🍑
