Cementing Close Political Ties Between Indonesia and Germany


Today, Dec. 1, German President Christian Wulff starts an official state visit in Indonesia. It is his first visit, but one to which he has been looking forward very much. During his visit made at the invitation of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono President Wulff will meet with the highest representatives and leaders of Indonesia, discuss current global developments and, of course, the bilateral relationship between Indonesia and Germany. As patron of the event series JERIN Jerman dan Indonesia President Wulff has expressed his firm belief that global challenges can be met and a deeper understanding between the cultures forged if both countries work closely together. JERIN, he is sure, strives to inject new energies in this relationship.

ERIN asks just one thing of its participants to be inspired. Defined by its tagline, Creativity in Diversity, JERIN Jerman (Germany) and Indonesia is a series of cultural, educational, artistic and intellectual events that invite Indonesians to experience, and interact with, German culture. With more than 60 events held in more than a dozen cities across the archipelago between October 2011 and March 2012, JERIN aims to illustrate how Germany and Indonesia are working together to address a wide variety of social, economic, political and cultural issues. Since launching in October, JERIN events have entertained thousands of children and adults, and enabled people to learn a little more about one of Indonesias allies. JERIN is jointly organized by the German Embassy, the GoetheInstitut and Ekonid (the GermanIndonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce). The six-month event celebrates 60 years of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and the Federal Republic of Germany. Many German institutions, including the development co-operation agency GIZ, the academic exchange agency DAAD, political foundations and many German and Indonesian companies, are partners in the JERIN event. Modern Germany is an economic powerhouse; it is the largest economy in the European Union and the fourth-largest in the world, and the countrys international profile continues to grow. Germany, with a population of about 83 million, is famed for its efforts in combating carbon emissions and climate change, and for its technological achievements. Germany is one of the top European education destinations for foreign students. The nation has also produced some of Europes most celebrated composers, philosophers and poets. It is a country with a stunning natural landscape, as well as modern, vibrant and unique cities. Despite the obvious differences between two countries that are separated by more than 11,000 kilometers, their diplomatic and foreign trade relationships are strong and continue to move in a positive direction. The JERIN initiative aims to inject new energy and life into this longstanding relationship, and to foster contact between German and Indonesian culture. On the following pages, see the highlights of events that have already been held and scan the schedule on the center pages for upcoming events. There are sure to be some to interest and inspire you.

Highlights of Coming Months J


ERIN includes everything from culture, arts, film and fashion to science, environment and politics. It is not only a platform for information exchange, but also an opportunity for Indonesians to enjoy some international arts and entertainment. In December, two roaming exhibitions Germany for Beginners and German Development Cooperation and Diversity will continue to impress visitors as they move onto their next host cities. December will also see the results of an online photo contest at the FORCLIME photo exhibition. Germany for Beginners The Germany for Beginners exhibition was created in 2009, in Berlin, and has toured the world. It is now a part of the JERIN project series and here for Indonesians to enjoy and interact with. Using the letters of the alphabet, from A for arbeit (work) to Z for zukunft (future), the exhibition offers a commentary and insight into Germanys history, culture, politics and traditions. The interactive sculptural exhibition uses video, text, images and other components to explain modern-day Germany. The multilingual exhibition is curated by Jrgen Reiche of the Foundation Haus der Geschichte of the Federal Republic of Germany. Germany for Beginners opened in Jakarta on Nov. 15, and travels to its next destination, Surabaya, on Dec. 4. Exhibition: German Development Cooperation and Diversity The German Development Cooperation and Diversity exhibition has toured major cities in Indonesia since October, and will continue until February, reaching in total 11 cities from Jakarta to Banda Aceh. The exhibition highlights areas where Germany and Indonesia cooperate and collaborate on different issues. The themes of climate protection, private sector development and good governance are visually presented and then discussed in depth by experts, leading Indonesian specialists and representatives from local alumni organizations. The exhibition has already made its way to Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Solo and Semarang. This month it will travel to Semarang, Malang and Surabaya, and will continue through 2012 with a wide range of new cultural, arts and performance-based events in different cities. On Stage In January, JERIN will bring to Indonesia a collection of interesting performance and musical acts. Scheduled to perform in Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Manado, Uwe Kaa is a German reggae artist who first rose to fame as a member of the group Roots Rockers Sound System. The musician is well known in his home country and this year celebrates 15 years on stage. The 33-year-old has given hundreds of live performances in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, from small club venues to collaborations with bands at major festivals. Oliver Kern is an international multi-award winning pianist and will be performing in Jakarta and two other cities in 2012 as part of the JERIN series. He will be performing together with rising star violinist Iskandar Wijaya who, of IndonesianGerman origin, is himself an outstanding symbol for JERIN. A puppeteer performance, Spleen (Le Spleen de Paris), inspired by French poet Charles Baudelaires collection of prose poetry from 1869, is sure to be an intriguing addition to the JERIN series in 2012. Le Spleen de Paris is directed by Hendrik Mannes, and performed by Michael Vogel. Live music accompaniment will be provided by Charlotte Wilde. A Living Heritage The upcoming exhibition Indonesian Batik: A Living Heritage in Jakarta and Solo pays homage to one of Indonesias most enchanting arts. Batik found admirers in Germany right up to the royal courts over 100 years ago, and German artists are still influenced by batik today. With batik by German artists and Indonesian batik icons such as the late Iwan Tirta as well as unique historical pieces, Living Heritage also aims to bring a broader understanding of batiks artistic value by explaining the different steps of batik creation. This exhibition showing batik and architecture, automotive-design, batik masterpieces by European artists and also the clean batik initiative will be an exquisite mix for batik lovers and young people. It will bring together art, knowledge and future perspectives of batik in Indonesia and in Europe. A highlight of the JERIN project series, and one that already has people talking, is the Raden Saleh multimedia exhibition that is scheduled to run from late February until mid-March 2012. From February, Sasha Waltz & Guests a leading dance troupe of 150 artists, choreographers, filmmakers, musicians and dancers from 25 countries who have developed more than 30 productions will perform in Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Padang. Choreographer Sasha Waltz is perhaps the most important innovator of dance theater since Pina Bausch, a German ballet director. During JERIN, they will present Zweiland. In March, we will see the final curtain bring a close to the six month long series of JERIN events, but not before one last festive hurrah when JERIN will take part in the 2012 Java Jazz festival. Though, exactly what JERIN will bring? We will have to wait and see.
The Germany for Beginners exhibition is an alphabetical, interactive tour that lets you learn about the countrys history, culture, politics and traditions one letter at a time.

German Film Festival Will Offer Something for Everyone


One highlight of the JERIN project series will be the German Cinema film festival, where JERIN will present a selection of some of the best German films in recent years. The diverse festival includes something for all tastes and shows off the skill and vision of contemporary German film-makers. Ten award-winning and critically acclaimed films will be shown in the festival, which will visit Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Medan and Makassar in January 2012. Almanya: Willkomm in Deitschland/ Almanya: Welcome to Germany Almanya: Welcome to Germany is a colorfully styled comedy. Director Yasemin Samdereli tells an appealing tale about Turkish immigrants in Germany from the perspective of 6-year-old Cenk Yilmaz. The boy asks himself, Who or what am I really: German or Turkish? after neither his Turkish nor his German schoolmates choose him for their football team. Almanya premiered at the 2011 Berlinale and won this years award for Best Film. Die Fremde/When We Leave Twenty-five-year-old Umay arrives at her parents Berlin apartment with her son after escaping an unhappy marriage in Istanbul. She hopes to start a new life but finds conflict with her family, who cannot simply ignore their deep-seated traditions. The situation might well break them. Vincent will Meer/Vincent Wants to See Vincents dead mothers final wish was to see the ocean one last time. With her ashes in a tin, Vincent, who is usually bound to his home because of his Tourettes syndrome, begins an adventure with the anorexic Marie and the compulsive Alexander heading toward Italy and the sea. Hilde It is 1966 and Hildegard Knef has returned to Germany at the peak of her career to perform a concert at Berlins Philharmonic Hall. Her appearance marks the first non-classical show ever to be performed in the new 2,400-seat concert hall and tickets have been sold out for weeks. It is nonetheless a difficult comeback, with a long and complex history. In Hilde, director Kai Wessel tells the story of one womans post-war German career.

bloody assassinations of German politicians and economic leaders. Their acts are condemned by Horst Herold, the head of the Federal Criminal Police Office, who pursues the RAF but at the same time tries to understand their motivations. John Rabe Set in 1937, Hamburg businessman John Rabe and his wife live in the former Chinese capital, Nanking, but are due to return to Berlin. Rabe is reluctant to leave, though, because he has developed a real bond with the country and its people. During his farewell party, Nanking is bombed by the Japanese, who have recently taken Shanghai. Rabe opens the doors of the companys compound in order to provide refuge for his workers and their families. In the aftermath, the citys remaining foreigners come together to discuss what can be done in the face of Japanese aggression. Lila, Lila/My Words, My Lies My Love Lila, Lila is the film version of Martin Suters best-selling novel. Set in Germany during the 1950s, David is a young and plain waiter who is secretly in love with beautiful Marie. To finally draw her interest, he gives her a manuscript of a novel to read. The copy appeals to Marie and she immediately decides to pass it on to a publishing company. The novel turns out to be a great commercial success. The only problem is that David did not write the novel himself but instead found the copy in a secondhand shop and the real writer, an over-the-hill tramp, soon turns up and starts to blackmail the impostor. Poll/Poll Diaries On the eve of World War I, 14-year-old Oda von Siering returns to Poll, her family home on the Baltic coast, a region uneasily shared by Germans, Russians and Estonians. With her are the remains of her mother, who passed away in Berlin. Awaiting is her aristocratic German family, who are clinging to their privilege in a world on the brink of disaster. Upon finding a wounded Estonian anarchist on the estate, Oda fearlessly hides him and secretly nurses him back to health, aware that her deed could trigger a chain reaction of uncontrollable violence.

Die Welle/The Wave Die Welle is loosely based on the real experience of an American high school class in 1967. History teacher Ron Jones attempts to teach his pupils the realities of fascism and how easily an ideology of superiority can take root. The movement becomes so popular that the life of the whole school is affected. Director Dennis Gansel delivers a gripping drama that looks at human psychologies and individual behaviors, offering a humanistic perspective on the terrifying irony that these students may welcome the very things they denounce. Das Lied in mir/The Day I Was Not Born During a stopover on her way to Chile, Maria recognizes a nursery rhyme in Buenos Aires. Thrown off course, she breaks off her journey and wanders through the unfamiliar city. On the phone with her father in Germany, she tells him about her experience and her peculiar fascination with the unfamiliar city. Two days later, he turns up at Marias hotel to confess an old family secret. The father and daughter then embark on a journey that takes them back to the time of the Argentinean military dictatorship. Der Baader Meinhof Complex/ The Baader Meinhof Complex In Germany in the 1970s, Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are children of the Nazi generation fighting against everything they regard as the new fascism: US policy in Vietnam, exploitation of the Third World and the position of the West toward the simmering conflict in the Middle East. In the process, the group becomes more and more radical until it turns into the Rote-Armee-Fraktion a group that terrorizes the country with

Sasha Waltz & Guests dance theater group arrives in February with its extraordinary and complex performance style.

Jakarta and Solo will soon enjoy the Indonesian Batik: A Living Heritage exhibition, including pieces from the late Irwan Tirta.

The Best Of Berlin on The Catwalk

Jacqueline Wales

pon an invitation from JERIN, and in cooperation with Berlin Fashion Week, eight designers representing five different labels presented their latest collections at Jakarta Fashion Week in November. The five labels Boessert/Schorn, Starstyling, Hien Le, MOON Berlin, and Issever Bahri were selected from almost 40 others to participate in the annual event. Hundreds of curious and enthusiastic Indonesians turned out to see what the eclectic group of designers had to offer over the course of a day.

Birgitte Franken & Christian Bruns

MOON Berlin MOON Berlin is an innovative fashion label by Brigitte Franken and Christian Bruns that mixes softcircuit LEDs with luxury fashion to achieve a dramatic, but elegant, light and shadow effect on evening gowns, cocktail dresses, trouser and blouse combinations and accessories. Unlike most fashion designers who are primarily thinking just about cuts, texture and color, Franken and Bruns have technical aspects to consider when designing haute tech a term used to describe the marrying of fashion and technology. The design process often starts with a design topic the story the collection should tell and the actual technical possibilities we have. Then we start the design process, doing draping, experiments, testing to see if our concepts work as we envisioned, Bruns said. Their 2011 collection, Im Not a Robot, emphasizes aesthetics, not science fiction, and has been presented at a number of international fashion shows.

Derya Issever & Cimen Bachri

Issever Bahri Issever Bahri, by Derya Issever and Cimen Bachri, combines handcrafted techniques that are inspired by the womens Turkish roots such as silk, leather and wool motifs, with modern, chic and classic European-style cuts. We [design] clothes that are wearable in everyday life, but are still sophisticated. We like it to be rustic, and never cute, Issever said. The two 29 year olds are fashion design graduates from the University

of Applied Sciences in Berlin. Issever and Bachri say they became instant friends after meeting on the first day of classes. Each went to work for different fashion houses after university, but in 2010 they reunited to start Issever Bahri. The duo said they recognize the potential of the Asian market because concept stores, which specialize in smaller brands, have taken off due to fashion enthusiasts who have an eye for new and up-and-coming brands. Asia is one step ahead of Europe in that sense, Issever said. Issever Bahri is sold in seven concept stores in Germany and abroad, including one in Hong Kong, and is also sold online.

Boessert/Schorn Boessert/Schorn by Sonia Boessart brings attitude with daring patterns that are casual but funky. Using yarns and fabrics mainly from Italy, France and Austria, the label is bold but still easy to wear and comfortable. Boessert/Schorn is inspired by antiques, crafts and traditional costumes The label uses handcraft methods, knitted techniques and colorful dyes to bring everything together at once. Since 2008, Boessert/Schorn has released two collections every year, one in Paris and another in Tokyo. Since 2010, these collections have also made their way to the catwalks of New York. The collection is now sold in about 40 selected stores in Europe, Asia and North America. Hien Le Laotian-born Hien Le used airy fabric, discreet cuts and solid bold colors red, yellow, cream and blue to build his Spring/Summer 2012 collection. The highlight: a stunning maxi-length red dress.

Hien Le

Sonia Boessart

Hien Le began his career in fashion as a tailor in Berlin. He later completed his fashion studies at the University of Applied Sciences in 2008, and then moved into sales. Less than two years later, Hien Le decided to create his own fashion label where he could make use of his varied skills designing, manufacturing and retail. Hien Les fashion values are simplicity, style and quality. His dedication to these three elements has helped him to be a success is a short period of time. Hien Les

collection is available in different shops in France, Switzerland and Germany. Starstyling Mixing things up a bit was Starstyling, which defined loud, fun and colorful clothing during their carnival-like parade down the catwalk. Their Spring/Summer 2012 collection, Stripes for Your Right to Party, includes light dresses, T-shirts and shorts. The collection featured painted, printed, foil, woven and knitted stripes. Katja Schlegel and Kai Seifried are a quirky married couple bursting with creativity. The couple launched Starstyling in 2000. Starstylings colorful handpainted leggings and shorts and foil patterns are sold across Europe and Asia, where both of these designers believe their concept and style will fit right in. Its all just colorful and fun, and people have the courage to wear color in Asia, Seifried said.
