Indra Liusuari: makankeluarga

In makankeluarga, Liusuari explores the rupture of familial relationships, the grief that follows, and the liberating aftermath. The project is manifested through a recorded three-part performance piece screened in an installation based on Liusuari’s one nebulous memory and their pride in their cultural and sexual identities. In the performance piece, Liusuari is the protagonist in a surreal melodrama in which they ruminate over the psychological violence they received from two family members and having to endure an agonising journey forward.
