Dammatha responded cheerfully that invitation, because in fact his community has been doing a similiar program: making the signposts filled with quotes of wisdom taken from the Holy Book. The signposts will be put in every houses’ yard in Tebango Backwoods. The negotiation then was going well. People of Kearifan Lokal Tebango Community will provide Sulung the materials to be treated as contents in his works, while Sulung will share his insight and skill in making visual works to people of Tebango. Dammatha said that there’re two hundred houses that should get the signposts.
