The book argues a simple point: what if the portrait is not one of a consenting muse, but a child in pain?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnnah, Infinite\u003c\/i\u003e questions the colonial power that has defined the infamous subject's unknown history. Through the mythology of Annah, Okka draws attention to the systems of ablenormativity, racism, and sexism that shape what we learn of art history and what we see on museum walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside her critique, the author engages with \u003ci\u003eAnnah la Javanaise\u003c\/i\u003e through poetry, fiction, and visual art. A work of emotional heft, Okka asks us to acknowledge the possibility of pain in every single portrait, as well as the possibility of escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKhairani Barokka\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and artist from Jakarta, based in London.
