The Festival reflects on Indonesia’s Reformation period which began with the momentous fall of Suharto’s 32-year autocratic ‘New Order’ regime in May 1998 and the profound political, social, and cultural upheaval it ignited in the nation. Has ‘Reformasi’ resulted in a stronger democracy, improved economics, and a greater degree of freedom of speech? Luna Vidya, Putu Juli Sastrawan, and Hilmar Farid weigh in on what has changed and what hasn’t, twenty-five years later.
Festival hendak merenungkan kurun waktu Reformasi yang dimulai oleh peristiwa penting kejatuhan rezim otokrat ‘Orde Baru’ Suharto pada Mei 1998 setelah berkuasa selama 32 tahun dan gejolak politik, sosial dan kebudayaan nasional mendalam yang dipicu oleh peristiwa tersebut. Apakah ‘Reformasi’ telah membuahkan demokrasi yang lebih kuat, ekonomi yang membaik serta kebebasan berpendapat yang lebih tinggi? Luna Vidya, Putu Juli Sastrawan, dan Hilmar Farid menimbang hal-hal apa saja yang telah berubah dan masih sama 25 tahun kemudian.
