Hello friend Brilio,
Watch Brilio's video! The following!
Prison is not an obstacle for prisoners to work. The birth of prison art is proof that prisoners can be creative. Prison art began with Angki Purbandono's experience in 2012. Not only Angki Purbandono, Erwin Arnada also worked in prison art. Tuesday (30/7) they joined in a discussion on the Benefits of Prison Art at the Kijang Mizuma House. One person who is also involved in prison art is Erwin Arnada.
"I only experienced 6 to 7 days of depression, but the rest of the time I thought this was a luxury item that I had to record, photograph, remember and express again to the public so that they would know, in the end it became a story, so many things," said Erwin.
Erwin Arnada managed to create several works while he was in prison. He has 3 books, I published a magazine in Bali Free Magazine there (in prison).
Apart from being creative, I am also an entrepreneur, so in terms of business, I can't stop thinking that I have to get something there. Angki Purbandono made prison a space to create scanography. After his release, Angki founded the Prison Arts Foundation.
"Prison Arts Foundation is a foundation that runs prison art programs, and we get prison art from memories of prison, so we have an inside out program, so inside prison and outside prison. This foundation was founded as a tool of remembrance for Angki explained Angki.
Founded in 2014, the Prison Arts Foundation has several programs. The programs that have been implemented are exhibitions, discussions, workshops and research programs, research on prison art. Angki hopes that the Prison Arts Foundation can be useful for other people.
"Hopefully this foundation can become a creative economic value for other groups or individuals, including me, then this foundation can also share, by conducting programs for friends in prison and friends who have been released from prison," explained ANgki.
Prison art has high value in the eyes of collectors. One of them is Dr. Oei Hong Djien who actively seeks out works of prison art.
"Those artists, their most powerful works were when they experienced a bitter life. I think everyone was in shock when they went to prison, we can understand that the works at that time would be very heavy, and maybe even certain artists "If you don't go to prison, you won't become a great artist," concluded Dr. Oei.
