Celebrities Embrace “Indonesian Heritage” In 30 Edits By This Artist
You are probably used to seeing A-list celebrities like Rihanna or Ariana Grande all glamorous on red carpets or magazine-cover-worthy Instagram posts. And it’s no surprise knowing the job that they do as well as tools at their disposal, like professional makeup, lighting, photography and, of course, editing. Funnily enough, the latter can also be used to reimagine celebs in a whole new light.
That is exactly what Indonesian artist Indra Hakim did. He photoshopped Hollywood stars into photos of everyday Indonesians and made them seem unusually “regular”. Scroll down to see these pictures of celebrities in unexpected scenarios as well as a new culture.

OMG! As Indonesian myself, I must say this is legitimately good photoshop work! Takes a lot of skills! Thanks for sharing.
How is 'embracing' a heritage that one isn't, different than cultural appropriation? Specifically when it's just the clothing one is wearing? I'm not trying to start an argument; I genuinely don't understand what the difference is and I'd like to know. 🤷♀️
I think you're asking how is embracing a foreign culture different than cultural appropriation? If so, then I would say that there is probably no single answer to your question because people seem to interpret the term "cultural appropriation" in different ways. Up until about 10 years ago, I knew it to have one specific meaning, that is when a dominant culture prevents a subjugated culture from preforming some aspect of their culture and then later adopts that aspect for themselves. This behavior is discriminatory because of the way that the D.C is treating the S.C while hypocritically taking from that culture. Now I see all kinds of interpretations that seem more in line with basic tribalism. Not being allowed to wear certain hair styles etc.
