SLIRAKU My whole self

Accepting and loving ourselves is a human need. It's just a reminder from me to whoever needs this. I hope this can be a reminder in every perception's point of view in order to kill misfortune, caused by mislead created by majority perspective. This equality is not about the equal itself, it's about unity. Generally, human is already equal, we need to be united, not uniformity.

SLIRAKU is a project using fine-art photography as a medium for women, trans, and gender non-binary/non-conforming to talk and build dialogue about self-love, especially related to how they encounter and challenge society's norms, beliefs, and standards. The project itself was started on June 2018 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Only in 3 months, there have been ten women* and one trans man getting involved in SLIRAKU; as photographer, participants, and mentor. My next finding is that for some participants, being photograph was transformative in terms of encouraging them to face their fears and dysphoria caused by society’s standards.Only in 3 months, there have been ten women* and one trans man getting involved in SLIRAKU; as photographer, participants, and mentor.
