Focus on capacity development to empower cultural heritage movement

​

My interest in cultural heritage begun in mid 1990’s when I worked as a volunteer, publishing Bandung Heritage Society newsletters in Indonesia. This task triggered me to learn and to get involve deeper into issues of cultural heritage in Indonesia. Later, I co-established Sumatra Heritage Trust and took a master’s degree with research about monument acts. 

For me, cultural heritage is a means to maintain quality of environment and to confirm identity of individual and collectives. It is more than a beauty of the past, far from merely a nostalgia.

That spirit keeps me going until today.

In 2005 I moved permanently to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and I continue my passions and interests in cultural heritage. Mostly I involve in shared heritage projects between Indonesia and the Netherlands. 

 

In the past 25 years, I have been working as administrator, project manager, initiator, executive director, advisor and lecturer for various institutions both government and non-government sectors, all about cultural heritage.

 

Mostly I think how I can contribute to cultural heritage movements in Indonesia, but gradually I realize that history and identity of a country relate to greater and broader perspective of the world. 

From all assignments that I have done, what I like most is working with grass root level, in the field, together with persons that genuinely care about cultural heritage.

 

That is why my afilliation called HERITAGE hands-on.
