Queer Protest Space

Queer space, as subversive act against the infrastructural heteronormativity embodied in the built environment, functions as protest architecture. Featuring food, exhibition, cinema screening, panel discussion, protest and dance party, the project reimagines temporary architecture's social impact by animating a colonial square in Jakarta with a queer cultural festival. With symbolic structures decentralising and destabilising the systematic square, the project provides infrastructural support for public dialogue and visibility to the precarious queer bodies, who face the threat of criminalisation in Indonesia.
