Indonesian artist Arahmaiani has had many lives – from an imprisoned then exiled anti-dictatorship activist to a hippie, art teacher and environmentalist – which have inspired her works that test the limits of freedom.
The South-East Asian artist was a nomad for years because of a crackdown on her paintings, installations and performances, which were viewed as provocative in the conservative Muslim-majority nation.
