Peter Thulin, co-founder of REMIX, recently visited Indonesia as part of the British Council’s DICE (Building an Inclusive and Creative Economy) initiative. The tour included a series of meetings and visits with creative industry organizations in the two main creative hubs of Jakarta and Yogyakarta. REMIX presented global trends in creative entrepreneurship at the Indonesian Creative Cities Network (ICCN) conference.
Entrepreneurship In Indonesia
As part of the DICE initiative, UK and international companies will work together to design and deliver innovative activities that support the growth of social and creative enterprises in five emerging economies, including the UK and Indonesia. These measures can be aimed at empowering women and girls, promoting youth employment or supporting people with disabilities or other marginalized groups.

In this post, Peter shares some of the highlights of the trip and some thoughts on creative entrepreneurship in Indonesia and the growth of creative industries in the country.
Indonesia’s creative industries scene is incredibly diverse and exciting thanks to strong government investment and support in the industry. However, what impressed me the most were the creative entrepreneurs I met on my travels. Creative industries are more grassroots, in contrast to the dominance of conventional cultural institutions, which are more common in Western countries. Given the need to generate income to ensure economic integration and promote sustainable cultural and social benefits, entrepreneurship is an important component. At its heart was a model of “collectivism” where people come together to pool resources, share risks, and produce creative products and services that cannot be achieved by one individual.
A good example of this is Ruangrupa, a non-profit artist initiative founded by a group of artists in Jakarta in 2000. It works to promote a wider range of urban environments and culture through exhibitions, festivals, art laboratories, workshops, research and the publication of books, magazines and online journals.
I met Leonard Bartholomeus, a member of the Ruangrupa Collective, who in a recent speech (Myanmar Times – full article here ) “laid out some theories of artistic collectivism.

“Artistic collectivism is based on the fact that artists can no longer act passively or isolate themselves from other fields of knowledge that have a role to play in the construction of many discourses and social practices at the levels of society and the state.”
“Collectivism is both a tool and a way of thinking. He sees the artistic collective as a fluid process that can collectively reproduce, integrate, and go viral, suggesting that collective knowledge is akin to viral mutation. They can spread and be very contagious.”
“When different artists united, has a sense of unity, connected with a sometimes very difficult life physically and emotionally. “Goals and tasks are strong in artistic collectivism,” he said he.—Become friends. And then art.”
He stressed the importance of overcoming setbacks and starting a new step, even if they initially faced setbacks and obstacles in maintaining the federation. They began to spread artistic knowledge among the public in a modest way, using public spaces.

They operate in many places and locations, but I visited the new venue that ruangrupa is developing in a building that used to house an indoor football pitch, and what they have been able to do with such limited resources is truly impressive.
There were many support organizations that provided these entrepreneurs with places to work and gather. I met William Hendraj, co-founder of Impact Hub. Impact Hub Jakarta is a coworking and innovation space that supports companies and entrepreneurs creating sustainable positive impact in Indonesia and is part of a global network of more than 100. The organization plays a key role in supporting the social and creative entrepreneurship ecosystem as well as runs the Innovation Lab, a corporate innovation program to give other companies the tools and skills to develop a culture of innovation.
Although BECRAF, the Creative Economy Agency, was established to harness the potential of creative industries as the mainstay of Indonesia’s economy, the government is making a number of efforts to support creative entrepreneurs. The sector team told me about a number of projects, including boot camps and specially designed training modules for creative entrepreneurs, as well as international showcase events and platforms to showcase Indonesian creators and products.
In terms of more conventional cultural infrastructure, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara, or MACAN Museum for short, is making waves internationally in the art world. I sat down with director Aaron Seito to check out the space, which has continued to evolve and expand since opening in 2017. The museum was included in Time magazine’s 2018 list of the 100 best places in the world.

In a similar vein, I met Monika Gunavan, managing director of Art:1, another pillar of the city’s growing private gallery network. In a new modern building, it is a pioneer in the development of the art scene in Jakarta. In the art business for over 30 years, Mon Decor Gallery has expanded to many branches throughout Jakarta.
These last two examples demonstrate how privately funded institutions are contributing to a growing middle class and growing demand for cultural experiences. Indonesia is at the forefront of food biodiversity conservation. In 2008, he founded Kampung Kearifan Indonesia (JAVARA), a value-driven sustainable food company that transforms food heritage into organic artisan food for gourmets. JAVARA works with tens of thousands of farmers and food industry masters to produce more than 600 products and export them to 20 countries. In 2017, she created an action-based school and business ecosystem to promote food entrepreneurship among rural youth, contributing to Indonesia’s Food Biodiversity Mission to create inclusive business opportunities in rural and remote Indonesia. Award-winning social entrepreneur, including Indonesia Social Entrepreneur of the Year 2013, Schwab Foundation Social Entrepreneur 2015. Work has been featured on Channel News Asia, DW TV, Guardian UK and The Bangkok Post.
JAVARA works across agricultural value chains, from production to distribution and branding, to protect Indonesia’s food biodiversity and bring the best organic products from remote and rural Indonesia to wider markets. Javara championed artisanal food products with provenance and market relevance. Inspired by local farmers and chefs committed to preserving Indonesia’s food biodiversity, Jawara works hand-in-hand with more than 52,000 small-scale farmers and chefs to bring forgotten products to market.
The company sells more than 800 handmade products (250 of which are certified organic), serves 700 businesses (retail outlets and catering sector) in Indonesia and exports to 22 countries. The company intervenes in supply chains to strengthen the production capacity of suppliers, improve workplace safety, sell products nationally and internationally, and obtain premium prices for farmers and processors. In terms of resources, the Jawara value chain consists of smallholder farmers organized into farming collectives. JAVARA develops local farmer entrepreneurs and helps them develop more marketable products and enables them to adopt sustainable and economically viable agricultural practices such as crop rotation or intercropping. More than 3,000 food artists have been trained by JAVARA to achieve and maintain high standards of food safety and quality.

With strong local capacity, farmer groups are encouraged and supported to carry out implementation activities. JAVARA buys, sells and distributes these products. This model provides a transparent pricing structure and allows all stakeholders to benefit from the sale of value-added products.
Her business model has attracted many companies around the world to explore her approaches, including ASEAN, Korea, Japan, India, New Zealand and South Africa. Jawara has received awards and accolades including: Named a Global Rising Star by Forbes Indonesia (2014); Indonesian Government’s Anugera HKI (Intellectual Property Award) for Brand Ownership (2014); Primaniyarda Award (2016) for opening new markets of the Government of Indonesia; It is among the best social enterprises in Indonesia according to the Top 10 Asia ranking (2016); Ranked #1 among Indonesia’s Top 25 Foreign Brands (2017) by SWA Magazine.
