ABOUT THE COLLECTION
“Agan Harahap reads the rapidly occurring change in our life’s behaviour and the chaotic condition caused by the pandemic as a moment of mourning. However, according to him, like the pallbearers in Ghana, this mourning needs to be responded to elegantly—by ‘putting the fun in funeral’. ” - Arham Raham about Agan Harahap’s ‘There’s A Fun In Funeral’
