GALA CULTURAL NIGHT 2015
“A Voyage through Indonesia”

Current developments in technology and economic trends, such as the advent of AEC, are leading towards a global economy. Solely relying on our cultural inheritance is no longer sufficient to allow us to compete globally. In order to be able to participate in the global market, we must reinvent our culture and redefine ourselves as a nation of flexible citizens open to new ideas.

In contrast to viewing our culture as something that must be preserved at all costs, we must enable our culture to expand and rediscover itself creatively, to create new meanings relevant to today’s habits, customs, and advancements in technology. It is essential for the Indonesian Students Association in the United Kingdom (PPI UK) to see these global changes as an opportunity to develop a platform that not only promotes Indonesian culture but also encourages initiatives to reinvent it creatively.

Through this cultural event we aim to develop a sustainable discourse on creativity, local values and redefinition of Indonesian culture to foster international connections. This year, there will be fashion show of cultural Indonesian traditional fashions, Indonesian traditional dances, Indonesian traditional musics and Indonesian traditional games. All of it will be perfomed in the event for three hours.
