Prison Songs: The Songs That Were Silenced is a haunting exploration of music born in captivity and silenced by power. Written by a collective of writers, artists, and musicians, the book retraces the forgotten history of political prisoners in Indonesia whose songs carried the memory of dissent, hope, and defiance. Through essays, visual art, and personal testimonies, it unveils how music became both a form of survival and a cry against erasure. Blending documentation and imagination, Prison Songs pays tribute to those who sang in the dark—and reminds us that silence, too, can echo with resistance.
