Explaining his true intention, Fahmi Reza said:
For the past 20 years I have produced hundreds of political graphics on various social and political causes, and also challenged the nation’s official history through my documentary film “10 Tahun Sebelum Merdeka”, theatre performances and public lectures on forgotten historical struggles. I’m committed to combining art, activism and politics to explore the role of art and design in movements for social change.
