Artwork #14: “After darkness, comes light”
By Angga Ardiansyah
This illustration tells the story of Indonesian women and their fight to overcome various challenges in gaining equal rights to education.
The reaching hands symbolize a collective effort to free women from the chains of injustice and limitation.
The blooming flowers represent new hope that even amid hardships, the spirit of learning continues to grow and flourish.
The image of a woman with an open book before her stands for freedom of thought and the awareness that education is the key to change.
Inspired by the spirit of "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang" (“After darkness, comes light”), this poster invites us to remember the struggles of pioneers like R.A. Kartini and to carry forward the vision of an Indonesia where every woman can pursue knowledge freely, without boundaries, without discrimination.
