| Summary: | This article explores the local heritage of the lament tradition of the Niasan people, known as hoho, and constructs a form of spirituality based on aesthetic theology. Disasters and diseases such as pandemics caused the loss of loved ones, jobs, homes, community, status, and security. The suffering leads people to question their core identity, which shapes spirituality. The contribution of aesthetic theology is to open the space for human experience and knowledge at the level of feeling and imagination about God, reflect on the beautiful nature of relationship with God, and appreciate art as an expression of spirituality. This article consists of three parts. The first part explores hoho as a meaning-making tradition of Niasan people amid suffering. The second part explains the importance of aesthetic theology in strengthening spirituality. The third part is devoted to hoho as the practice of theopoetic spirituality amid suffering and its aftermath. |
