Annah, Infinite de Khairani Barokka

Annah, Infinite

Autor Khairani Barokka
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 sep 2025

An experimental work of creative non-fiction that challenges art history, confronts colonial ableism, and reclaims a stolen spirit.


In Annah, Infinite, the dominant narratives surrounding Paul Gauguin's famous painting Annah la Javanaise (1893-94) are turned upside down. The book argues a simple point: what if the portrait is not one of a consenting muse, but a child in pain?

Annah, Infinite questions the colonial power that has defined the infamous subject's unknown history. Through the mythology of Annah, Okka draws attention to the systems of ablenormativity, racism, and sexism that shape what we learn of art history and what we see on museum walls.

Alongside her critique, the author engages with Annah la Javanaise through poetry, fiction, and visual art. A work of emotional heft, Okka asks us to acknowledge the possibility of pain in every single portrait, as well as the possibility of escape.

Descriere

In Annah, Infinite, the dominant narratives surrounding Paul Gauguin's famous painting Annah la Javanaise (1893-94) are turned upside down. The work argues a simple point: what if the portrait does not depict a romanticised muse, but a pained child, caught in a moment of profound vulnerability? In questioning the 'facts' surrounding Annah's life, Annah, Infinite draws attention to how historical narratives, shaped by colonial powers, have distorted Annah's story. It critiques the systems of ablenormativity, racism, and sexism embedded in art institutions, and the way these structures mask the violent colonial legacies still haunting museum walls. Interspersed with the author's own poetry, fiction, and visual art on the painting's subject, this is a book of emotional heft. It asks us all to acknowledge the possibility of pain in every single portrait, as well as the possibility of escape.
