aleficent, Disney’s most notorious and, sometimes, beloved evil queen has become a cultural icon since her appearance in 1959’s Sleeping Beauty.
The evil queen was reinterpreted from a villain to become somewhat of an antihero in her own self-titled film in 2014. Now, five years after this reinterpretation, she returns in a sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.
To promote her return, Disney Indonesia is collaborating with 10 Indonesian artists and designers for an exhibition dubbed “Saints, Evils and In Betweens” at the Senayan City mall in South Jakarta from Oct. 10 to Nov. 3.
The exhibition is being held in the mall’s North Space area and features works from Anis Kurniasih, Aurora Santika, Dian Suci Rahmawati, Nus Salomo, Han Chandra, Atreyu Moniaga and Robby Garsia of the Proyek Atreyu Moniaga (AMP), Albert Yanuar, Andreas Odang and Imelda Kartini.
After visitors enter the exhibition area, they will be able to enjoy a display of works inspired by the Maleficent franchise. Each work serves as a backdrop for a pair of black wings, a prominent trademark of the Maleficent character.
The artworks mostly explore the eponymous villain/antihero’s change of heart, gradually shifting from evil to kind-hearted or somewhat in between.
