Hana Madness (ID) x the vacuum cleaner (UK)
In July 2018, artists and mental health activists Hana Madness (Indonesia) and the vacuum cleaner (UK) travelled to West Java, Indonesia to visit people who are and have been held in Pasung (held in chains due to their mental health). The artists will exhibit a new work that challenges and reframes perceptions of mental health in Indonesia, as part of the wider movement to #stoppasung.
The project has been supported by the UK/ID Season 2016-18, which aims to develop and support relationships between Indonesian and UK artists.
Festival Bebas Batas (which roughly translates as ‘free of boundaries’, or ‘unlimited’) will be Indonesia’s first festival of brilliant art by disabled people. The festival is the brainchild of a group of artists, curators and activists, including artist Hana Madness, who visited the Unlimited Festival in London in 2016 and was inspired to create a festival with the same spirit in Indonesia.

Get yourself a chance to watch my latest video project with @vacuumcleaner at Festival Bebas Batas 12-29 October at The National Gallery of Indonesia. See how a radical mental health community in Cianjur called Istana KSJ can survive in empowering people with mental disability.
