JAKARTA OH JAKARTA (14)

Jakarta issue was made to celebrate the birthday of Jakarta, obviously. Let us not state the obvious as well by saying Benyamin S = Jakarta. Yes it is true there are many other iconic we can equalize to Jakarta as well. Why Benyamin S? Who doesn't know him? Any Indonesians know this person. We lost this talented person is true but we have his memories, lots of songs, movies, articles and friends he had left behind.

That is why, in a way, we create the June/July 2011 issue to Benyamin S and Jakarta. Helloooo Batavians! Helllooooo Betawi, come out come out wherever you are, this one is for you.

On the Nation on A Mission we have our talented contributors to capture the Jakarta scene. Well at least most of it. Living in Jakarta is like eating Sambel (chilli), You would reject it at first but it will grow in you and you will crave for more! lol. At least thats what we think.

We also give you some social articles about Why Jakarta as the capital city of Indonesia and its little history behind it. Also the known tari topeng betawi and the growth of it.

With special features for the creative people out there, we give you Art Tutorial! where we present how to create plush toy on this issue :)

There will be more changes and additions in the upcoming issues! So don't miss it!!

THE BIRTHDAY (13)

Our birthday issue! yippy, nothing big, we love to just please ourselves and readers by playing with our layout and give more in the magazine content. It was our pleasure to bring 5 people as our person(s) of the month.

They are, Nano Riantiarno, Hartati, Titien Watimena, Mpok Nori and Acho Sambas. The concept for this edition's Person of the month was to cover 5 people involved in theatre. Where there's the actor/actress; Mpok Nori, the Script writer; Titien Watimena, the Director; Nano Riantiarno, the Choreographer; Hartati and the Stage Art Director; Acho Sambas.

Without these people, a play may not happen.

Here are the cover of the issue,

Cover

We had so much fun making every pages of the Birthday issue! The team was so playful and the models we were working with were fun to hang, easy going and all out. On the Tribal Insanity project we decided to use non models, they were people from local Indonesia rock band, Uta from Garden of Grief, Opa Willy from Delerium Tremens and Edo from FX14.

Buy the issue to see how FAR Magazine is a totally different magazine. Hope you like it!

SATU UNTUK BERSAMA (12)

We are in a dilemma of using english or bahasa for our blog, since it is a magazine based in Jakarta. But it would be nice to share some thoughts and writing in international language.

We will figure that out later.

Anyway,

Butet Kertaradjasa

It has been too long!! yes too long indeed!

For those who does not know Butet Kertaradjasa is known for his bluntness, comical personality and his sharpness on political critics through his own show called 'sentilan sentilun' with Slamet Rahardjo.

FAR Magazine had the chance to caught him on his busy schedule to talk about who he really is and what are his principles. We have to admit, when it comes to the editing part of his interview drafts, it was hilarious ! Regretfully there are some censored we have to do.

Below are some of the pages for this 'Satu untuk Bersama' (One for All) Edition.
