Is He Such a Hard-Working Animator?


Assignment

1. Read the text about creative industries in Jakarta and answer the following questions.

Jakarta’s Creative Industries

I read such an interesting article about the


‘beauty and diversity’ of Jakarta’s
museums in The Jakarta Post
Magazine’s The Museum Week
edition. For that reason, I was inclined
to share my personal experience of
Jakarta’s art and creative scene. I think that
Jakarta’s art and creative scene is so slim that a
proposal to UNESCO excluded Jakarta from its list of creative cities.

According to the proposal, Bandung, Pekalongan, Surakarta, and Yogyakarta are on the list
creative cities. What did I learn from the absence of Jakarta? It is easier to find malls,
blockbuster Hollywood movies, and traffic jams in Jakarta than inspiring spaces, like musical
concerts, animation film festivals, 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 museum. I also caught Indonesian movies. I was
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 see that Jakarta also offers cultural celebrations to enjoy, but they 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 investors.

I am sure that encouragement and funding in required to empower the citizens 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 Jakartans, but also the
economy of Indonesia as a whole.
