RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Indonesia is strengthening collaboration with creative communities to advance cultural development. The initiative was highlighted during a cultural dialogue held in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

The discussion involved Minister of Culture, Fadli Zon and Marcella Zalianty, founder of Keana Production. The meeting focused on programs such as children’s festivals, women’s congresses, and films about Indonesian heroes.

Fadli Zon welcomed the initiatives proposed by Keana Production in promoting cultural advancement. He emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting artists and cultural communities across the country.

“Plans for producing hero films, organizing women’s congresses, and children’s festivals can certainly be carried out collaboratively,” he said. He added that these initiatives could be integrated with flagship programs of the Ministry of Culture.

The minister highlighted the potential alignment between the planned Women’s Congress and the activation of the Mataram Museum in Yogyakarta. He said hosting the congress at a historical site would strengthen its cultural relevance.
