Prof. Spyer spoke about how popular Christian painters have been creating portraits of Jesus and Christian murals in Ambon’s main thoroughfares and Christian neighbourhood gateways, after the war in Ambon. Showing photographs of these portraits, she outlined the attempts of these painters to make larger than life depictions of Jesus. Prof. Spyer believed that these paintings in the public space were a result of anxiety regarding the ‘invisibility’ of the Ambonese Christians, underlined by the war. It could also be, she said, due to the political and televisual prominence of Muslims in Indonesia. The gigantic Christian portraits perhaps aimed at alleviating the condition of being unseen.
