Greetings

The Covid-19 pandemic is still overshadowing the steps, but that does not mean we give up and lose. It is difficult to stay at home all the time when various activities require us to meet together. It is not easy. But in the midst of various limitations, we must remain trustworthy, even though ideas abound.

Over the past two years, the pandemic has taught us many things, one of which is adaptability. Many activities that were initially thought to be difficult to do without face-to-face meetings have actually been implemented. Activities, which at the beginning of the pandemic could only be held online with internet connections that were not all stable, were gradually being held in a hybrid manner, some participants being online and some participants being able to meet face-to-face. Currently, even though activity restrictions are mandated, more and more people “dare” to gather and hold activities quite lively. It is said that he important thing is to obey the health protocols. OK.

A number of programs from the Directorate General of Culture of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research, and Technology, from events such as the National Culture Week, SangiRUN Night Trail 2021, film and video production, to the arrangement of the Borobudur Temple area, are impossible to do online. Luckily, the percentage of vaccine implementation in Indonesia is relatively high and positive cases of Corona have decreased, so that the competent authorities allow face-to-face activities. A number of the programs of the Directorate General of Culture can be read in the Indonesian Magazine Volume 12 which is in front of you.

At the end of 2021, Indonesiana Magazine will be published with more interesting topics to explore. The main topic of the village for the advancement of culture is still being chosen, considering that the program is a sustainable priority, as well as the spice route. Articles regarding objects of advancement of culture according to the Law Number 5 of 2017 Regarding Advancement of Culture photograph themes and stories from various regions in Indonesia which are rich in diversity and deserve to be protected, fostered, and utilized for their potential.

The fantastically beautiful Wastra (traditional weaving) from Toraja is guaranteed to make us proud to own not only because the colors and motifs are like vitamins to the eye, but also because they are rich in meaning. Wearing it makes us feel comfortable and confident. The culinary wealth of the archipelago is recorded in articles about traditional soy sauce and cheese which are very useful. The oral tradition of the Ulu Ambek from West Sumatra, the performing arts of the people from Sukabumi, to the stories from the kris museum in Solo are fun to follow. Do not forget to open the figures page, which this time features the artist Nasirun whose prestige and dedication has surpassed his work.

Let us keep the spirit in working and useful for others. We hope that Indonesiana Magazine will always inspire readers. Regards…
