The “Spice Route” Narratives as a Medium for Production of Knowledge

16 Februari 2022 | 13:00 - 15:00

Spices became a reason for European trading vessels to come to the Indonesian archipelago. It was history of survival, competition, violence, and repression.

Fast forward to the 21th century. How the Indonesians interpret this history and what they want to do with it? Negeri Rempah (Spices Land) Foundation is one of the leading players in promoting narratives of spices history amongst the Indonesians, especially the young generation. They also work together with government officials how to translate the spices history into structural policies and programs.

In 2017, the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia officially initiated the Spice Route proposal as the World Heritage to UNESCO. This initiative was under the auspices of the Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Diplomacy and the Directorate General of Culture.

In line with the vision of President Joko Widodo to position Indonesia as the global maritime fulcrum in 2045, the legacy of the maritime spice route has been acknowledged as a means of cultural exchange and intercultural understanding. It brings together various ideas, concepts, knowledge, and experience between people across nations. This maritime cultural heritage has become increasingly important to be addressed.

The speaker is Kumoratih Kushardjanto, Chairperson of Negeri Rempah Foundation, it is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to increasing public awareness to learn and obtain knowledge about Indonesian diversity through educational and cultural activities. One of its missions is to provide the platform for innovative knowledge-exchange and intercultural understanding, while simultaneously promoting multiculturalism through Spice Route as one of the world’s cultural and natural heritage which still has its relevance in the contemporary context.
