Invitation to the Public: Indonesian Conference and Cultural Event (ICCE) April 24, 2009 with Event Agenda (Newest)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 04:48:00 +0000

Annual event discusses, celebrates, and shares Indonesian cultural diversity

On April 24th, the 2009 Indonesian Conference and Cultural Event (ICCE 2009) will be held at the Hawaii Imin International Conference Center at the East-West Center, 1777 East-West Road, Manoa from 2 PM - 9 PM. (open event agenda)

The topic for this year is 'A Decade of Reform 1998-2009’; looking at changes after Soeharto's regime ended in 1998. The Spirit of Reformation promising democracy, equity, and justice among Indonesian people has been the underlying force guiding these changes. However, after a decade of reformation, Indonesia’s democracy has been questioned in relation to its ability to ensure that every individual has rights and access to maximize his or her opportunities. Democratic forms of authority and politics have not showed their correspondence to the culture of democracy at the grass-root level. ‘Power’ has not been distributed equally to every citizen as democracy promises. ICCE 2009 is expected to be one way for Indonesian students and experts on Indonesia to exercise their academic intellect for the good of Indonesia while promoting Indonesia to the outside world without promoting a particular political or religious message.

There will be two seminar sessions at the conference covering contemporary politics and arts and culture in Indonesia, with speakers including professors and graduate students from UH Manoa, Arizona State University, and Columbia University. Furthermore, cultural celebrations will include cultural exhibits, traditional dance and music from Aceh to Bali, Kartinian ethnic fashion show, Dangdut music (Indonesian popular music), and Indonesian food.

ICCE 2009 is organized by the Indonesian Student Association in the US (PERMIAS) Hawaii Chapter, Nusantara Society, and Nongkrong Yuk! Indonesian Club (both at UH Manoa); and co-sponsored by the Embassy and Consulate General of Indonesia in the US and East West Center Education Program.

Further details and press kit are available at the PERMIAS website: http://www.permiashawaii.com/ or http://permias-hawaii.blogspot.com/

Ceh Kucak Gayo: The 2th Screening Movie on Aceh as part of the International Conference and Cultural Event of Aceh 2008

“Ceh Kucak Gayo” [The Little Gayo Singer]

Director, Script: Nan Triveni Achnas; Photography: Winaldha Melalatoa; Editing: Sentot Sahid; Music: Tina Sylvana; Sound: Jun Mahir; Appearance: Kabri Wali; Producer: Mira Lesmana,Garin Nugroho; Production Company, Source: Miles Productions.

From Anak Seribu Pulau [1996]; Documentary on Indonesian children from various areas, portraying their ways of life, cultural values, ethnic background, and environment. The Little Gayo Singer is an aesthetically shot portrait of an extraordinary ten-year-old Indonesian boy. A major performer in the traditional form of sung poetry, Kabri rehearses with his father's team in preparation for a marathon singing competition. Together with glimpses of his life as an ordinary village child, the images of his intense concentration and strong presence are moving.

Director's Statement

The first time I met Kabri Wali, I was immediately struck by the way he carried himself amongst all the adults in the room. He was very self-assured and joined us in conversation while taking sips of coffee from his father's cup. When he sang, I could feel the goosebumps appearing on the back of my neck, a sure sign that means yes, oh yes, this is the singer we were looking for. During the shoot, Kabri had an attack of conjunctivitis which made him irritable and moody. We could not postpone the didong competition and were hoping for the best while shooting around Kabri. But the minute he came on stage he forgot about his eyes and performed so beautifully. There were so many elements of the Gayo culture that I wanted to explore at length. The intricacies of didong, for example, which reflects the character and socio-political framework of the people in Central Aceh. It was one of the subjects that I hope to come back to in the near future.
