Muhammad Buana (Louie) is a PhD Candidate at Institute for History, Leiden University and a Guest Researcher at Royal Netherlands Institute for Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies in Leiden. He studied law and history, specializing himself on the legal history of adat (customary law) in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. He graduated from Cosmopolis Program in Colonial and Global History (2015) and Advanced Master in European and International Human Rights Law (2016), both in Leiden University. A heritage storytelling practitioner and folklore enthusiast, he founded a youth movement called Lontara Project in 2011 to re-introduce La Galigo (the most voluminous literary work in the world from South Sulawesi) through new media for the young generations. His topics of interest ranged from Buddhist Tantrayana teaching in Borobudur Temple, maritime history, to the interplay between adat, Islam and colonialism in the Southeast Asian archipelago. As a writer, he has been selected as one of the Emerging Writers at Makassar International Writers Festival (2014), invited writer at Borobudur Writers and Cultural Festival (2019 & 2020), and Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (2021).
