Hendra Eka has been selected as a recipient of the Erasmus Huis Fellowship to Amsterdam—a special program for Permata Photojournalist Grant alumni from 2011 to 2019. Despite being delayed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hendra was able to complete a scholarship to the Netherlands in July-August 2022.
During his fellowship in the Netherlands, he worked on a documentary photo project, titled “Lisette” that tells a story of a professional sex worker who provides services to people with disabilities. With his thorough research and experience as a professional photojournalist, Hendra was able to establish closeness and gain trust from Lisette. The photos he has taken are touching, and are not distant. The photos take us to be part of Lisette’s daily life, allowing us to experience her intimate moments with her clients.
Come and see Lisette’s story, as told by Hendra Eka in the Photo Presentation & Discussion “ERASMUS FELLOWSHIP TO AMSTERDAM 2022” which will also be a public launch of the photo book “Lisette”.
