JakArt@2001 was a not-for-profit festival to
celebrate the birthday of Jakarta, in June 2001. Jakarta was
transformed into a huge stage for a whole month. Not only most
of the exiting venues
in the city, such as concert halls and theatres,
but also unconventional venues in the city,
such as
schools and universities,
community centers, community
theaters, parks, the
streets, mosques, churches, cafes, a bus
that opens
into a stage.... and more was used. The local
community was involved to the maximum extend
possible, by
taking the festival to them and
creating hands-on experiences
and events.
JakArt@ 2001 was
a celebration of human culture.

JakArt@ 2001 was the result of the combined
efforts of an impressive number of individual artists and
concerned citizens who had collectively come to the
realization that some action was called for imminently. These
same individuals have struggled for many years and to various
degrees of success to address the concern of the lack of
adequate educational and financial support (often due to lack
of understanding of the important links between the arts and
our everyday economic and social activities). In Jakarta, a
city of 15 million people, most of the cultural projects and
events address themselves to narrow and specialized audiences
and seldom reach the wider public. What made JakArt@ 2001
different is that for the first time in many years a consensus
had emerged that if all these noble efforts in the various
fields and disciplines could be pooled together for just one
moment in time, i.e. June 2001, and in just one space, i.e.
Jakarta, then perhaps we could create a monumental event that
will reach a wide audience and draw attention to a number of
important issues. We hope that this will start an on-going
dialogue that will develop into a deeper level of
understanding
