Independence and Housing 80 Years of Promises - Indonesia

The 80th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia was not a celebration, but a bitter reflection. These photos capture a reality far from the glitter of national celebrations at the USU Residence III, Patumbak Satu, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, the celebration. Amid muddy dirt roads and piles of garbage, only a single Indonesian flag flutters, as if the sole silent witness to the desolate national spirit. This settlement has been inhabited for two years, but the promised basic infrastructure has yet to materialise. The absence of public facilities such as parks and places of worship is not simply negligence; it is a reflection of the injustice felt by its residents. Every puddle and unpaved road is a daily reminder of the vast gap between spoken promises and the reality faced. This situation has become a national spotlight. This issue is not merely a development issue, but a strong indication of alleged corruption and money laundering practices that tarnish the public housing program. In respo

Serwah plays in the heavy anti colonial band Dispossessed and is also a multidisciplinary artist. Stanmore, Australia, 2017 'I think femininity is different for everybody. I’ve been doing a lot of research about the Akan tribe that is my father’s tribe in Ghana. It’s so hard having roots in so many places and feeling like in a grey area. My mother is Italian-Dutch, and my father is Ghanaian. When two members of my African family that I never met came to Australia, it was basically ‘ Hey, that’s your sisters, make them feel at home'. They were calling me 'red', which is a derogatory term. I was like whoa?!?. Then I go to my white side of the family and they would be like ‘ Why don’t you change your appearance, straighten your hair, dress properly’ etc? I didn’t choose to be like this why can’t you accept me as I am anyway? It’s so hard to accept the differences between both sides cause they’re so different and contradicting at times.'
