Organized by:

Heritage hands-on, Indonesian Diaspora Network the Netherlands (IDN-NL), and IDN Liveable Cities (IDN-LC).

Ullen Sentalu Museum that located in Kaliurang, Yogyakarta is a Javanese Art, Culture and Nature museum. The museum’s location at the foothill of Mount Merapi, coincides with the northern part of Javanese macro-cosmology, while on the south lies Parangtritis along the Indian Ocean. The Museum is also located in the middle of the former Mataram Kingdom, marked by the Borobudur temple in the west and Prambanan temples in the east.

The museum collection comprises among others the history of noble women from the royal court of Mataram Kingdom. Besides that, the museum also emphasizes living heritage programs to put actual contexts of the collection of tangible and intangible heritage.

Museum Pusaka Nias or Nias Heritage Museum is managed by the Nias Heritage Foundation which was founded in 1991. It is the oldest community museum in Indonesia.  Its activities are not only focused on the preservation of Nias culture but also on raising awareness about the environment and stimulating the local economy through sustainable tourism. Megalithic artifacts from Nias are popular in international trading and this museum is one of the efforts to keep the artifacts in Nias.

Both museums are examples of private and community museums in Indonesia that survive the rapid development of economic, social, and environmental challenges in Indonesia. Both speakers will share their stories of how they keep up with all challenges to stay true to their ideals and contribute to society.

REFLECTION ON 2023

Bandung, October 2023 The end of 2023 gets closer.  I am thankful for the health, safety, and opportunities that I have this year.  The year started with good walks to the countryside of Austria. I had to thank my Austrian friends who introduced me to the beauty of nature, the farming life, and also the rich culture of a big city like Vienna. I fell in love with the philosophy of the architect  Friedensreich Hundertwasser: inspired by and back to nature.  In the spring, I had to thank my senior, Donovan Rypkema,  who introduced me to his heritage networks and works around Washington DC. I learned a lot about revitalization of the historical districts of the city.   I continued my journey with the train adventures following the history of the Dutch along the Hudson River until the border of  Canada. The experience with WWOOF USA impressed me. I think I will do it again, in another country next year. Staying in new surroundings with new people delivered fresh insights about life, and al

INFILL DEVELOPMENT

Perpaduan antara bangunan lama dan baru selalu menarik perhatian saya karena saya percaya pelestarian pusaka (heritage conservation) haruslah aktual dan menjawab kebutuhan zaman. Jadi tidak semata-mata dan sama sekali bukan untuk nostalgia. Jika memang niat ada banyak cara untuk mempertahankan bangunan lama dan mengkombinasikannya dengan bangunan baru. Dengan cara ini pelestarian pusaka dan pembangunan baru secara simultan terakomodasi. Solusi seperti ini umumnya disebut Infill Development . Definisinya menurut BUILD, is the economic use of vacant land, or restoration or rehabilitation of existing structures or infrastructure, in already urbanized areas where water, sewer, and other public services are in place, that maintains the continuity of the original community fabric. Solusi Infill Development juga berdasar pada semakin meningkatnya kesadaran tentang pembangunan berkelanjutan dan pelestarian lingkungan hidup. Pendekatan Infill adalah tanggapan terhadap kebijakan pemerintahan
