What does it mean to speak up or speak out? Voice Against Reason delves into these questions. It intricately weaves fragile temporalities that link personal narratives, historical contexts, and political themes to geography, all through the perspectives of leading contemporary artists.

Voice Against Reason is more than just an exhibition. It's a project that includes newly commissioned artworks and performances, supplemented by a series of thought-provoking talks, lectures, and public programs. These events, planned to unfold throughout the exhibition period, are designed to deepen the audience's engagement with the art and the themes it explores.

Voice Against Reason is organized by Museum MACAN with co-curatorial support from Putra Hidayatullah and Rizki Lazuardi.
