In Chains Went to Germany

In Chains is my latest collaboration project with UK based artist and mental health activist the vacuum cleaner. This project raised a radical mental health community in Cianjur, West Java called Istana KSJ  into an 18-minute video.

After debuting for Festival Bebas Batas part of UK/ID Festival at The National Gallery of Indonesia last October, I had the opportunity to present this project at two different festivals in Germany.

"THE PERSONAL IS THE POLITICAL"

is part of Utopia Film Festival which held in the city of Bremen, Germany on 29 October 2018. In there James aka "the vacuum cleaner" presented his old project entitled "Madlove" Designer of Asylum, followed by our presentation about In Chains. 

At least 90 tickets were sold out!

_________________________________________________________________________

After Bremen, James and I flew to Munich. In there we performed at a large festival called "POLITIK IM FREIN THEATER"

 in a session called 

"Tender Provocations, The Art of a Culture of Hope" 

which was curated by James the vacuum cleaner & Jessica Huber, taken place at Kammerspiele Theater Munich, Germany on 2 & 3 November 2018.

James and I performed on the same stage with influential disability artists and activists from  UK & Europe such as Noemi Lakmaier, Katherine Araniello, Kim Noble, Jessica Hubber.

Before the show along with Noemi Lakmaier (Artist & Activist), Kim Noble (Artist), Mary Osborn (Artists' producer), Katherine Araniello (Artist & Activist).

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. (written by Mary Osborn)

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.

Festival Bebas Batas

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.

Taking place at the National Gallery in Jakarta on 12-29 October 2018, the festival is designed to complement the Asian Para Games, which will be held in Jakarta, also in October.

The festival is a collaboration between Galeri Nasional Indonesia, Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, Art Brut Collective, and British Council Indonesia.

That's me, when I gave a speech at the opening ceremony of the Festival Bebas Batas. I conveyed how I feel proud because this Festival can be realized in Indonesia and also will be a new history of Arts & Disability in Indonesia.

Along with Director of NoMa Museum Japan, Director of the British Council Indonesia, Art Director of The Ministry National and Culture of Indonesia, and The Curator of Festival Bebas Batas.

They have lots of interesting films that are screened in places in Jakarta from 14 to 23 September 2018.
