Kampung
Konser
Kampung Is a community of cultural arts that was born in 1986 in the village of
Jatitujuh located in the north of Majalengka, West Java. Members of this community
group share different talents ranging from art and music to dance and writing.
This year they have focused on the creation of new experimental instruments
made from bamboo. Their talents and various other acts connected with community
art are often combined with events and social activities within and outside of
this village.
BACKGROUND
The village of
Jatitujuh need a space for creation, exploration and collaboration, to promote
art as a way of life. For the past years they have been using temporary studio
spaces, friends bamboo shacks, local coffee houses and their own lounge rooms
to produce, discuss and practice their art and music. By building a central hub
in this village for education and execution of creativity, it will provide
easier access to art materials and space, therefor encouraging both the young
and old in this village to play more of a participatory role in art creation
and experimentation. Konser Kampung have been making music, events for the
community, art and experimental instruments since 1986, touring, collaborating
and inspiring many. Art is indispensable in their lives and the lives of the
village.
