Аннотация:This article demonstrates how collaborative (audio)visual methods can contribute to processes of transformation and become a form of activism that ultimately empowers the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights movement in Indonesia. By focusing on the 73 minute documentary Anak-Anak Srikandi, which was produced in collaboration with a group of women-who-love-women in Indonesia's main island Java, I discuss the collaborative and interventionist quality of the filmmaking process itself, emphasizing in particular the transformative potential of auto-ethnography as part of a broader critical queer/feminist methodology and arguing for a more engaged visual anthropology.
