Ratapan lautan (Short Docu)

This video documents the journey of “Ratapan Lautan”, (Lament of the Ocean) a collective artwork created together with the fishing community in Kudat, Sabah. Through woodcut printmaking, the work reflects the voices of the sea — stories of how local people protect their marine life, care for the ocean, and build their own conservation programs. At the same time, it is part of a larger campaign to raise awareness about the destructive impact of bottom trawling. Our hope is that this video becomes both a memory and a call to action: To honour the community who lives with the sea To inspire collective awareness To stop harmful fishing practices #RatapanLautan #StopBottomTrawling #PangrokSulap #IconicFishes #Borneo
