Small Shops, Big Impact The Resilience of Indonesia's Independent Bookstores MORE >> Despite their financial limitations, a number of independent bookstores in Indonesia have managed to grow quite vibrantly and are able to offer alternative choices for book lovers. Not just a place to buy and sell books, these independent bookstores are able to bring together book activists from various fields, serve as a place to create new discourses about the world of books, and form diverse communities of readers. In addition, independent bookstores which often use modest and small spaces in city corners seem like an anomaly amongst the massive growth of e-commerce platforms which is said to make booksales easier. In other words, independent bookstores have now become an important instrument in enthusiastically building Indonesia's book ecosystem. In this discussion session, we will not only discuss the importance of these independent bookstores, but also talk about the strategies that have been and can be applied by independent bookstore managers in building relationships with their readers. << LESS |

Writer’s Talk: A Glimpse of Our Literary Awards MORE >> Literary awards in Indonesia have come and gone, with some thriving and others struggling to survive.

It will also look ahead to the return of the Kusala Sastra Khatulistiwa, raising questions about its role in the evolving literary landscape. << LESS |

The Creative Suburbs: Self-sufficiency in the Middle of Suburbia MORE >>
Often too under appreciated, suburbs can become incubators of creativity. Rather than just being places for living and commuting for people who work in the central business district, suburbs can actually enhance its vitality and sustainability. << LESS |

Southeast Asia Share & Shout: Stories from the Region MORE >>
South East Asian writers’ voices are less heard in the global arena. We also don’t know each other well enough. We need concrete efforts and actions to share among South East Asian writers and to convey our stories outside the region. This session provides space for writers from South East Asian countries to share their obstacles, aspirations and real steps that need to be taken. This session is also related to the Road to JILF x JakTent discussions in August 2024. << LESS |

Writing in a Burning World: Do Words Still Matter? MORE >>
The world is burning. We face climate change, global warming and the anthropocene crisis. Literature and art play an important role in this critical situation. Not only to describe the 'burning' situation, but also to explore new concepts and beliefs about the world. This session seeks to highlight the experiences of writers and artists who have discussed this topic and to dialogue about the challenges they faced, and to ask the question ""what does it mean to write in this situation?"" << LESS |

Exploring the Art of Riso Printing in a Post-digital World MORE >>
Since its inception in 1984, Riso has been a popular short-run press option in the era and was one of the last new print technologies to be standardized before the internet took off. The technology sits at the interface between analog and digital. What was once a machine defined for its utility has found new life as a medium for artists and illustrators in creating art projects and zines. << LESS |

Writer's Talk: The Layers of Nature MORE >> In her debut novel Die grüne Grenze, Isabel Fargo Cole placed the forests of the Harz Mountain not only as the natural setting of her story but as multilayered dimension where the-political, the-historical, the mythical, the-cultural happened and even clashed into one another. It is precisely these layers which will be delved into some depths in this session: what do we really talk about when we talk about the natural world. Obviously, with her years of activism and writing, Amalya Reza Oktaviani would provide interesting insights into this. The conversations with the two writers with different backgrounds will enrich our perspective of nature << LESS |

Relentless Battles: How to Never Surrender MORE >>
Struggle at all levels is a daily occurrence. The conflict between the wealthy and the unprivileged (but close to nature) continues to occur in all parts of the world. Intersectionality with issues of class, gender, race, culture, food, etc. is raised by writers who understand how all aspects of life are interconnected. And how difficult it is to unravel this tangled thread. << LESS |

From Ancient Grains to Future Farms Exploring Traditional Ways for Food Sustainability MORE >> In the pursuit of ensuring national food security, the government has introduced various massive-scale programs in the form of food estates. Large areas of land have been cleared and cultivated to become national food barns. However, these mega projects have created many conflicts, whether with local communities or with mother nature itself. On the other hand, a number of food activists have carried out a series of movements to raise public awareness about alternative food sources, reducing our dependence on the market and the state. One of the ways food activists campaign for alternative food security is by learning and re-approaching the ancient knowledge of Indonesia's ancestors. In this session, we will learn more about the efforts in exploring traditional food knowledge to attain food security in the future. << LESS |

Preserving Our Past, Nurturing Our Future - Hybrid MORE >>
Cultural heritage is an invaluable resource that acts as not only a unique tourist attraction but also a timeless treasure that connects people to their roots and shapes, offering a window into the shared history. Cultural heritage is a crucial asset, influencing the values, beliefs, and sense of belonging. In a world where we are becoming more interconnected by the day, cultural heritage is one of our most powerful resources to transform individuals and generate new ideas. << LESS |

Poetry Night: Solidarity for the Earth MORE >> Poetry Night: Solidarity for the Earth is a stage to voice empathy and solidarity with the victims of genocide and ecocide in various parts of the world, from Gaza to Srebrenica, from Papua to Volnovakha. Their poems will be the voices of the silenced and the stories of those who have been ignored. The poems will also connect the sense of humanity for those who are oppressed, showing how art is a medium that can convey messages of justice, peace, and sustainability. Poets from various countries (Ukraine, Iran, and Indonesia) and different generations will deliver litanies to comfort grief, as well as encouragement to fight for hope. On this night, we create a collective space to celebrate empathy and build hope through the power of words. Literature enthusiasts, environmentalists, and nature lovers can come to think about the meaning of solidarity in the midst of the ongoing humanitarian and environmental crisis, and celebrate solidarity together. << LESS |

Green Parenting Nurturing Nature, Nurturing Children MORE >> Raising awareness to care for and coexist with nature is increasingly important as we face worsening environmental crises. One of the things we can do to grow ecological awareness is by providing education and parenting patterns to foster children's love for their environment. By doing so, we can create an understanding of environmental importance and inspire children to take concrete actions for themselves and their environment. In this session, we will discuss environmentally conscious parenting styles, the availability of children's books that focus on environmental topics, and the government's role in designing education to face the ecological crisis. << LESS |

Strengthening the Existence of Traditional Cuisine Through Gastronomic Diplomacy MORE >>
Food plays an important role in bringing people from different cultures together. The act of cooking and sharing delicious meals creates lasting connections as we get a unique insight into someone's passions, heritage, and history. This new soft power can effectively offer a neutral platform for diplomatic engagement, transforming dining tables into places for cultural exchange and understanding. << LESS |

Travel Writing as Means of Crossing Cultural Boundaries MORE >>
Though it is a cliche, people do go traveling to find themselves. The concept of travel includes all sorts of people mobility and migration together with their intentions in the new places. Travel can also be seen as a negotiation between two different geographical spaces and cultures in which one is a very familiar side and the other one is about to be explored, understood, explained, and, sometimes, assimilated. << LESS |

Sowing Hope: Making Sparks in the Dark MORE >>
When all hope seems lost, we look for the seeds of hope. There are some, but they tend to be small and scattered. Negative narratives about the future of the world (and humanity) must be balanced with more positive narratives, lest we sink into deep despair. This session discusses how writers and journalists depict and instill hope in this dark situation. << LESS |

Here's Why Our Urban Areas Need Permaculture MORE >>
A modern approach to sustainable agriculture, permaculture draws inspiration from traditional gardening practices. Guided by necessity and tradition, it prioritizes resourcefulness, less waste, and a deep relationship to the land. Permaculture is not a new way of living, rather it is a way of living that acknowledge the existence of all organisms and have meaningful connections towards each other through an integrated design. << LESS |

Literature as Commons: Writing for Solidarity MORE >>
Our lives are becoming increasingly capitalistic in all dimensions. Meanwhile, traditionally, literature has communal roots. How does literature offer 'commons' and thinking about life together? Where do literature/literary actors build a 'cultural barn' based on togetherness, celebration of diversity, a sense of solidarity and a sense of belonging? What form does this 'commons' take? Can it break through the current world of literacy based on neoliberal structures? << LESS |

Food, Future, and Folklore Balancing Tradition and Nutrition MORE >> Today's urban Indonesians have high awareness of the importance of nutritional knowledge. Not only are they aware of the content of food and drinks, but they also understand how these sources of nutrition are obtained, processed, and have a significant social impact on the economic process. In line with this awareness, more and more culinary products, culinary-related content, and food security movements are enriching people's knowledge about nutrition, both in modern and traditional cuisine. In this session, we will explore the combination of traditional and modern food knowledge and practices that promote good nutrition for our bodies. We will learn more about how our culinary practitioners process traditional culinary types that are nutritious, to be presented as culinary products that can be used by today's society to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Also, how do our creators or writers try to present more culinary themes to further enrich people's knowledge about our nation's culinary treasures. << LESS |

The Learning Curve of Innovation and Preservation in Music MORE >>
Music has the power to go beyond language barriers. It is a universal language that transcends borders and brings together people from different cultures and backgrounds.
