Mari kita tunggu!

Several Pusakata songs have been released on streaming platforms such as Spotify and Youtube, while some songs have been saved for the album launch. Rumata' very much welcomed the collaborations that took place, especially as Pusakata involved several Makassar practitioners and artists to take part in this celebration. The energy from Pusakata’s performance was a sign of the enthusiasm of the Makassar people which has increased with the return to activities after staying at home for the past two years.

Silence: Deaf Communities In The Time of Pandemic

Program residensi dua seniman Tuli dari Makassar dan Wales telah memasuki tahap akhir. Selama masa residensi tentu banyak sekali cerita, inspirasi, pembelajaran yang datang dari kedua seniman ini, tapi ternyata belum cukup.
 
Oleh karena itu, MIWF menghadirkan ruang diskusi virtual yang juga menghadirkan teman-teman komunitas dari Makassar dan Wales untuk saling bertukar cerita selama pandemi, apa perbedaan yang mereka hadapi di masing-masing negara, dan apa yang bisa menyatukan mereka?
 
Silakan ditonton dan disebarkan ke teman-teman yang lain.

The residency program of two Deaf artists from Makassar and Wales has entered its final stages. During the residency period, there were certainly many stories, inspirations, lessons that came from these two artists, but it was not enough.
 
Therefore, MIWF presents a virtual discussion room that also brings community friends from Makassar and Wales to exchange stories during the pandemic, what are the differences they face in each country, and what can unite them?
 
Please watch and share with other friends.

Kompilasi Video 10 Tahun Rumata’ ArtSpace: Lily Yulianti Farid

Video Compilation: 10 Years of Rumata' ArtSpace with Lily Yulianti Farid

Melalui Rumata' ArtSpace, Kak Lily berani melakukan beberapa percobaan untuk membuka jalan yang bisa menghubungkan Makassar langsung dengan dunia dalam hal kegiatan kebudayaan.
 
Sebelumnya, Rumata’ mengundang beberapa sahabat Rumata’ untuk memberikan kesan, pengalaman, serta pandanganya terhadap Rumata’ sebagai salah satu rumah seni dan budaya yang ada di Makassar. Sepanjang 10 tahun ini, Rumata’ kiranya telah banyak memberikan kesempatan bagi para penulis, pembuat film maupun seniman dari kawasan Indonesia Timur, kami ingin mendengar dan menyaksikan bagaimana Rumata’ menjadi salah satu simpul dari proses kreatif mereka.
 
Video kompilasi ini terdiri dari 10 klip berisi ungkapan singkat dari para sahabat Rumata’ yang diunggah secara berkala. Kompilasi video ini bertujuan untuk menyebarluaskan semangat kolaborasi lintas disiplin berbasis rumah budaya dan komunitas. Untuk melacak sejauh mana Rumata’ mempengaruhi dalam tumbuh-kembang komunitas literasi dan film di berbagai daerah.
 
Dalam video ini, Kak Lily secara khusus berterima kasih kepada semua pihak yang selalu membantu dan mendukung Rumata' hingga saat ini. Kunjungi Instagram Rumata’ di sini:

Through Rumata' ArtSpace, Lily dared to take some risks to open a road that could connect Makassar directly with the world in terms of cultural activities.
 
Previously, Rumata' invited some of Rumata's friends to give their impressions, experiences, and views on Rumata' as one of the arts and cultural houses in Makassar. Throughout these 10 years, Rumata' has provided many opportunities for writers, filmmakers and artists from the Eastern Indonesia region, we want to hear and see how Rumata' has become one of the hubs for their creative processes.
 
This compilation video consists of 10 clips containing short stories from Rumata's friends which have been uploaded in instalments. The video compilation aims to spread the spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration between cultural houses and communities to track the extent to which Rumata' has influenced the development of literacy and film communities in various regions.
 
In this video, Lily specifically thanks all those who have always helped and supported Rumata' up to now. Visit Rumata's Instagram here:

Dorong Partisipasi Publik Milenial Melalui Wikithon

Encouraging The Participation of Millennials Through Wikithon

Tidak dapat dimungkiri bahwa pemuda memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam pembangunan nasional. Apalagi, saat ini Indonesia tengah mengalami masa bonus demografi, di mana jumlah penduduk usia produktif  (15-64 tahun) lebih besar daripada jumlah penduduk non produktif.
 
Berdasarkan Data Statistik Pemuda Tahun 2020 (BPS, 2020), jumlah pemuda yang berusia 16-30 tahun sebanyak 64,50 juta jiwa, atau 1 dari 4 Penduduk Indonesia adalah pemuda. Karena itu, pembangunan pemuda sangat menentukan kesuksesan pembangunan SDM yang unggul dan berdaya saing dengan indikator Indeks Pembangunan Pemuda (IPP).
 
Mengacu pada data ini, pemuda harusnya memegang peran penting dalam perumusan kebijakan publik. Kontribusi kaum muda dalam kebijakan dapat menjadi salah satu ujung tombak keberhasilan cita-cita bersama, baik di tataran daerah/lokal maupun tingkat nasional. Sayangnya, ruang partisipasi itu masih belum optimal di Indonesia. Padahal, sejumlah isu nasional relevan dengan kebutuhan dan situasi kaum muda saat ini seperti pendidikan literasi, perubahan iklim dan sejumlah isu penting lainnya.

It cannot be denied that the youth have a very important role in national development. Moreover, at the moment, Indonesia is experiencing a time of ‘demographic dividend’, in which the working age population (15-64 years old) is greater than the non-working population.
 
Based on the Youth Statistics for 2020 (BPS, 2020), the number of youths aged 16-30 is over 64 million, that’s to say 1 in 4 Indonesians is a ‘youth’. Therefore, youth development is a strong determinant of success in building a strong competitive human resource sector according to the Youth Development Index.
 
In reference to this data, the youth hold an important role in the formulation of public policy. The contribution of youth to policy can become a yardstick for the success of shared goals, both locally and at the national level. Unfortunately, the room for youth participation in Indonesia is not yet optimal. Despite the fact that a number of national issues are relevant to the needs and situations of youths, like literacy education, climate change and several other important issues.

Kurang Kreatif: Kolektif Kesenian di Kota Poso

Kurang Kreatif: Art Collective in Poso City

Kurang Kreatif merupakan sebuah wadah kolektif anak muda yang didirikan pada medio 2019 dan mengerjakan seluruh aktivitasnya dari jantung pulau Sulawesi, sebuah kota kecil yang lekat dengan ingatan tentang konflik masa lalu: Kota Poso.

Sejak 2012 sebagian besar yang menginisiasi kolektif ini sebetulnya sudah lebih dulu terlibat langsung dalam skena musik independen Poso Noise Territory. Perjalanan tujuh tahun di skena dengan segala dinamikanya itu memaksa kami terus melakukan evaluasi untuk kemudian menyadari banyak kondisi yang perlahan berubah dan membutuhkan perhatian serius.

Sebuah persoalan yang cukup memprihatinkan di antaranya semakin kurangnya aktivitas ‘kreatif’ di kota kecil kami. Belum lagi persoalan ekosistem, regenerasi pelaku dan minimnya ruang untuk membangun gagasan bersama. Aktivitas-aktivitas yang dulunya hidup dan dimotori beragam komunitas anak muda di Poso, pelan tapi pasti mulai mengalami keadaan yang mencemaskan.

By Zuldhan Aidil
Less Creative is a collective forum for young people that was founded in mid 2019 and carries out all of its activities from the heart of the island of Sulawesi, a small town that is closely related to memories of past conflicts: Poso City.
 
Since 2012, most of those who initiated this collective have actually been directly involved in the Poso Noise Territory independent music scene. The journey of seven years in this music scene with all its dynamics forced us to continue to evaluate and then realize that many conditions were slowly changing and required serious attention.
 
One problem that is quite concerning is the lack of 'creative' activities in our small town. Not to mention the problem of ecosystems, regeneration of creative actors and the lack of space to build shared ideas. The activities that used to live and be driven by various youth communities in Poso, slowly but surely began to experience anxiety.

"Karena Kita Pergi untuk Kembali"

'Because We Go To Come Back'

FOVEA MAGAZINE (for Indonesian and International Film Culture) Interview with Riri Riza

'Because We Go To Come Back'

Riri Riza built Rumata Art Space in Makassar, a city that was still a stranger to contemporary art and cultural activities. For Riri, Rumata' is one of the results of a long seeding of existential questions about identity. The following is a report and conversation between Eeduyhaw and Riri Riza in Makassar about Rumata' and SEAScreen Academy some time ago:

"Oh, I'm going out again, I'll be back soon. You’ve already made a commitment, yeah?" asked a man politely from inside a room that looked like an office. While waiting, I took the time to look into one of the rooms. A group of participants and each instructor of SEA Screen Academy were busy compiling pieces of the film takes that had been taken since this morning. Today was the last day of the academy's activities, namely the production of lm. In addition to the busy schedule, there was one room that also attracted attention at the front of this building. It was a spacious room, but empty, without furniture. All the interior walls were unpainted. Likewise, outside the building, which looks like just a layer of cement. On one side of the room, sheets of sketches by Gertjan Zuilhof were attached which were made only on used print-out paper. The pattern of scratches was out of the ordinary but very interesting.
