More than 12,000 refugees and asylum seekers are living in Indonesia, a non-signatory country to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 protocols. With only one Presidential Regulation and no following technical guidance, each city responds to the issue differently, hence the different level of service availability and access to refugees. Often forgotten is the granularity of those decisions; what each local government decides to do has a great influence toward how refugees live their days while ‘in transit’ in Indonesia.

This audio series aims to show how refugees in a state of liminality in Indonesia experience their cities. We will follow the account of a young Hazara refugee from Afghanistan on his journey to establish himself as an emerging writer and film director since his arrival in Indonesia as an unaccompanied minor in 2014.
