Art Culture & Tradition in indonesia


One-cultural art heritage of our ancestors who had been so popular and looked forward to attendance by the public both in rural and urban areas: the art of Wayang Kulit is now looking to fight hard to maintain its existence.

Gradually the number of fans began to decrease-not as much as they used to be. Indeed there are many factors causing the decline of gusto Wayang Kulit this art, one of which is the emergence of the entertainment world of foreign products that have been looted throughout this region in Indonesia.

Not only in metropolitan cities and even in remote hamlets we had been able to feel the effects of Power Rangers, Pokemon, Terminator, Rambo, Superman, Batman and so on, replace the presence of figures such as Puntadewa puppet, Werkudoro, Janaka, Sri Raja Krishna , Sang-Panakawan Semar, Gareng, Petruk and Bagong, and so on.

Our children now seem more familiar with the names of alien super-hero rather than the names of the characters or folklore puppet own country.

Our children's (well some of us) seem to feel more comfortable, modern and bonafide when can follow the development of super-hero world of foreign products.

They also seem very proud if they had names and attributes used by the super-hero stranger.Instead they would frown do not understand or even be rejected outright when he was introduced and invited to watch the presentation rembugan or Art Wayang Kulit country that in fact the products themselves with all that beauty.

It is very unfortunate if our children, future generations of art-culture and tradition we have started is not known and not-caring about the art-culture and noble traditions of the ancestors are created, grow and develop through a long process and it is not easy.

Seemed to signal the existence of the attitudes of indifference and lack of willpower of our children to know, explore, and learn the art-culture and tradition is not something noble attitude-fetched or unwarranted fear.

At such a time as this effort and the real work of the lovers and activists (read: the artist / artist) art-culture and noble traditions rooted in Mother Earth so we are indeed on need. Not only for the purpose 'ngleluri' (preserve) but it is 'menggethok transmitted' (teach-deliver, disseminate, guide) our children that has become more 'attracted' and 'kedanan' with characters super-hero products successive foreign-changing appearance on the TV screen every day in the middle of our family room.

More craze will again influence the foreign super-hero when there is the facility's computers and its different variations in video games and animated games at home, so no doubt the more insistent are the strongest influences alien super-hero who is often characterized by a brutal scene, blood scattered , and the noise of gunshots to our children's.

Then if we have to reject and discard all things cutting-edge technology and foreign products? Of course not. Human handiwork in the form of latest technology creation (whether foreign or domestic creations) instead sepatutnyalah this we are grateful and enjoy.

We use with a full awareness that it's all just for the good and welfare of us all, especially the children - our next generation in future. When you use the latest technological creations had already begun to stray from that self-awareness, then there is time for decisive efforts stopped it. Because if it is not just the damage and destruction that will accompany us all.
