Jakarta’s Creative Industries

I read such an interesting article about the beauty and diversity of Jakarta’s Museum
in The Jakarta Post Magazines the Museum Week Edition. For that reasons I was inclined to
share my personal experience f Jakarta’s Art and Creative Scene. I think that Jakarta’s art and
creative scene is so slim that of proposal to UNESCO excluded Jakarta from its list of
creative cities.
According to the proposal, Bandung, Pekalongan, Surakarta, and Yogyakarta are on
the list of creative cities. What did I learn from the absence of Jakarta? It is easier to find
Malls, Blockbuster, Hollywood Movies, and traffic jam in Jakarta than inspiring spaces, like
musical concert, animation film festival, and Batik fashion shows.
A friend advised me to visit Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. I was so surprised that I
could not speak a word. I enjoyed the Textile and Puppet Museums. I also caught Indonesian
Movies. I was so impressed that I plan to buy more books about this country. I think
Indonesia is such a potential country that creative industries develop well.
I also say that Jakarta also offers cultural celebrations to enjoy, but day all emphasize
Betawi culture, Jakarta is a place where people from Aceh to Papua go. These people surely
bring their cultures and traditions to Metropolitan Jakarta. These diverse cultures can promote
creative industries in Jakarta with the support of government and investor.
I’m sure that encouragement and funding is required to empower the citizen of Jakarta
to reap economic benefits from creative industries directly and transparently. The melting pot
of creativity in Jakarta has the potential to help not only the lives of the Jakartans, but also the
economy of Indonesia as a whole.

The Inuit, who used to be called “Eskimos,” are the people of the Canadian Artic. They have
adapted to the freezing cold surroundings, where they depend on marine life for food. In the
area, vegetables and trees are hard to find. The Inuit hunt land animals during the summer
with traditional weapons, such as bows and arrows. Their primary means of transport is sleds
pulled by dogs. In order to protect their body from the extreme cold, they made clothing out
of caribou fur. Another interesting fact about the Inuit is the Igloos, houses made of snow
blocks, in which they live during winter.
