Synopsis
In January 2018, the Indonesian police raided several hair salons in the province of Aceh, torturing dozens of trans hairdressers in one of the country’s most violent anti-LGBTQ+ persecutions. Traumatic photographs of the torture were published by the police and went viral around the world, becoming the dominant visual representation of the trans community in Aceh.
