Latent… threat… of what? There were times when this exact word terrified a huge number of people. There were also times when people could be put into prison for years just because of this label. But in a photocopy/printing place in Senayan, South Jakarta (22/08), the term was used in a fearless context, even a little wicked (KOMUNISS—Komunitas Sobat Senayan or Friends of Senayan Community). Even more interesting, it was not pasted in a hidden intimate space for local gatherings, but in an official public space, a trading place. How refreshing. Lisabona Rahman | September 2011
