“The project’s name itself is ‘Kemang RT/RW’ [neighborhood unit/community unit],” said graphic design artist Hermawan Tanzil in ICAD's official video. “Because I’m a resident of Kemang, I really want to create a documentation [with] information [and] historical records about the area from the past until present.” He added that the project required him and his team to interview many people to find pieces of information related to each other.
