This research aims to analyze nonviolent actions carried out by art community Taring Padi in art festival Documenta 15 in Germany in 2022 to defend the victims of human rights violations in Indonesia. During the festival, the nonviolent actions took place in a way that the community showcased artworks to expose human security issues suffered by Indonesian people during the New Order period. The  human security issues raised by Taring Padi are human rights violations committed by president Soeharto, from torture, genocide, to forced disappearance. As such, this article raises two research questions. First, why did Taring Padi choose nonviolent actions to raise human security issues? Second, what kind of nonviolent actions conducted by the group? To answer those questions, I employ a qualitative research method, with Gene Sharp’s theory on nonviolent resistance in place. This research finds that Taring Padi chose non-violent actions because the group sought to give a political education that non-violent resistance is part of a healthy democratic culture. In this democratic country, the group used art to make the public more aware of human security issues in Indonesia, inviting them to side the victims and take part in urging the government to responsible for the human rights violations it committed. Taring Padi did non-violent actions in a way that the group made caricatures, symbols, and slogans as well as raised banners and posters.
