At Work Treated like a Robot, Through Metal Feeling like a Human

[English] – This article written by Ralf Ruckus was published by New Bloom Magazine on June 5, 2023. It follows the heavy metal scene of Indonesian migrant factory workers in Taiwan and its flagship band Jubah Hitam. Caught up in Taiwan's racist migration and labor regime that treats migrants as mere labor power serving the interests of Taiwan capital, Indonesian migrant workers search for spaces to come together, be creative, and have a life outside wage work: At work treated like a robot, through metal feeling like a human.
