Abstract
Kalimantan has emerged as a primary hub for global coal and palm oil production, particularly in East Kalimantan. This visual essay delves into the concept of the resource curse, examining its potential negative impact on local health and communities, given the heavy reliance on coal and palm oil for economic and infrastructure development. Employing Autophotography during fieldwork research in 2023, the essay presents a series of photographs to prompt discussion and reflection on critical engagement with this ongoing discourse. It underscores Autophotography's role as a critical approach to narrating local narratives and knowledge within a defined conceptual framework aimed at disseminating it to a wider audience. This highlights the potential of visual essays in generating and representing knowledge, thus contributing to knowledge production.
