EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photograph captured by Beawiharta, we witness a gathering of members from hardline Muslim groups as they unite in protest against Jakarta's incumbent governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama. The demonstration takes place in the heart of Jakarta, Indonesia on November 4th, 2016. The image portrays a moment charged with tension and fervor. Clad in traditional attire and carrying banners emblazoned with their cause, these individuals stand united against Purnama - an ethnic Chinese Christian who is running for re-election. Their presence signifies the deep-rooted religious and cultural divisions that exist within Indonesian society. As we observe the crowd through Beawiharta's lens, it becomes evident that this protest carries immense significance beyond its immediate context. It serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding religion and politics in today's world. This photograph encapsulates both the strength and vulnerability inherent to democracy itself. It prompts us to reflect upon questions of identity, tolerance, and inclusivity within diverse societies like Indonesia. Beawiharta skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the emotions coursing through each protester's face – determination mixed with frustration or anger perhaps – leaving viewers compelled to contemplate how such demonstrations shape our collective future. Through his lens, Beawiharta invites us into this pivotal moment where ideologies clash amidst democratic processes; reminding us that even within peaceful protests lies great potential for change or unrest alike.
