On the road to April Festival 2010
.. ..
April Festival is a women’s event organized in conjunction
with the anniversary of the birth of Kartini, Indonesia’s renowned feminist.
The April Festival is a celebration of women’s creativity
and their thoughts, for the public to appreciate, through the showcasing of cultural
performances and exhibition, public discussions and cultural orations.
April, which coincides with the month when Kartini was born,
has become the opportune momentum for women to celebrate their accomplishments,
for self-evaluation and reflection, to identify concerns and struggles that lie
ahead, and to impart messages of their own to the public including the younger
generation.

We also hold a greater hope that as society grows to
appreciate art and culture, so will their understanding on and respect for
human rights, tolerance and pluralism.
