“A nation wouldn’t be a great nation
if they doesn’t know their identity and culture”
Indonesia is one of the largest
countries in the world. As the largest archipelago country in the world which has
approximately 17,000 islands and 230 million peoples, have hundreds of cultures
that can be the strength of this country. In fact , the majority of young
peoples are now more likely to choose foreign cultures than their own culture.
Therefore to make us all aware and proud of our own culture , the real action
is needed to make it happen.
In order to preserve Indonesian
culture , especially the culture of Western Java / Sunda culture. We, the
students of SMAN 3 Bandung held an Art and Cultural Festival, entitled “MATSWAPATI”,
which was held on 27th of September 2014.
“MATSWAPATI” Arts and Cultural Festival,
consisted of:
Parades
(Parade with the theme of culture that invites various cultural communities
that exist in Western Java), clothings (presented headbands and scarves as
merchandise for the visitors who attended this event, attractions (attraction
of the whole culture of Western Java that can entertain all visitors), culinaries
(typical food of western Java will be presented by the traders / vendors who
are invited, exhibitions (cultural exhibitions from various art and cultural
communities of Western Java)
The
Matswapati Parade started in the morning at 8 a.m and we had to be at Lapangan
Bali at 7 a.m. We decided to wear black shirt or t-shirt with black jeans and
also scarve. We walked through Jalan Belitung, Jalan Merdeka, Jalan Jawa and
ended up at Lapangan Bali. There were a lot of stands and my class had it own
name which is named “Antasena”. Honestly I was having trouble getting inspired
for stand, but then I saw my friend outside working on her stand and I got an
idea and Acceleration 2 worked together with X-XI IPS. It actually turned out
to be pretty fun, mostly because in games you can do all sorts of stuff you
could never do so I invited my friend from another school to play and I figured
she would eventually get bored and just go home, but she stuck around yeay I
wasn’t gonna pass up my moment of glory.
The
event started since morning. It was very attractive and many crazy thing
happened that day, there were Glenn Fredly, Barsena, and Angklung performed by
Saung Angklung Udjo, etc. A bunch more people started showing up after that and
it was going super fantastic. I noticed Amira was standing next to me while
Glenn Fredly performed and luckily we
were standing in the front row. I saw that everyone was having a good time and
it has proven since the parade. Matswapati ended up at 8 p.m. and it was
crowded. The event started since morning and very attractive. That was my
unforgottable experience ever since. I couldn’t be patience to look forward for
this event next year.
