Wariazone explores the notion of transgender in Indonesia and relations between gender identity and freedom. It raises questions about the politicization of morality and religion in the country with the world’s largest Muslim community. Traditionally, variations in gender identity are holy in many Indonesian cultures, but today, as a result of the rigidity of social constructions, warias have been relegated to an outlaw zone on the outskirts of society. Wariazone not only situates itself within the context of gender and sexuality, but also points out how the expression of gender identity is ruled by ideology: the ‘truth’ is related to the power.
