The Meeting

     Appearing on local news paper maybe not his first experience. But, in different case, He is becoming a popular man because of his idea to form the 'embryo' of creative industry association. Although (formally) he is an Account Officer, he is dedicated his time and his effort for real industrial and real economic movement.

     October 5th, 2012 he is appearing on Kedaulatan Rakyat. In that article, he was explaining that

JAMIK (Jogja Mikro Kreatif) is a necessary 'place or house' for attracting the governments' attention to the creative industry. Or just to keep their good attention on the right management. Using this association model, they want to 'donate' one right construction mapping for this sector.

Batik created by Endang Wilujeng (Sekar Turi Batik)

     October 4th, 2012 The real economic activator like Endang Wilujeng was gathering at Bamboe Resto for preparing their JAMIK's declaration. Talking about the mismanagement, Endang Wilujeng gave the example. After coming back again to Indonesia (after finishing her job to follow certain expo in China), she said that Deperindag (Departemen Industri dan Perdagangan) do not concern into the 'creative' side of Batik it self. They only prepared one stand for the final product of Batik itself without any additional stand for showing the process of making Batik. Because it is not only talking about batik as the final product that Indonesia has. But, the value is in the process of making Batik. For additional statement she said, "Jika industri kreatif mengabaikan ini maka habislah kekuatan seni kreatif kita, kurang diperlakukan sebagaimana mestinya."

     The other activator for this movement, Any and Evi Dona, also add some value for JAMIK. As the first step, we invite the creative industry agent or activator to join us. And several groups that have joined JAMIK are Designing Industry, Fashion Industry, and Handicraft Industry. For the next step we invite all industry groups to join us such as Architect or Architecture Industry Product, Film Industry, Software Industry, Music Industry, Publisher, Art Industry, Advertising Industry, Interactive Game Industry, Radio, Televisions, etc.

     "Mendesak saat ini untuk diferensiasi keunggulan seni kreatif kita perlu dibuat mapping, sehingga saat pameran di dunia internasional kita bisa tepat dalam menjual keunggulan indusrtri kreatif kita," Any said.
