"There is absolutely nothing creative about Bandung. Its 2.5 million inhabitants, like the inhabitants of all other Indonesian cities, are condemned to only three social and cultural activities: eating, family gatherings and praying.
Not one permanent concert hall now brightens the life of this former Dutch hill station turned into some sort of 'city of learning'. There are no art cinemas and not one decent museum.
There are a few parks in Bandung, but they are tiny, dirty and disconnected. There are several malls and commercial cinemas showing the lowest level pop Hollywood junk.
The rest is, as elsewhere in Indonesia, an over-commercialized and desperate urban sprawl with no planning."
Link tulisan di sebuah website yang mengaku berjuang untuk kedamaian dan keadilan sosial itu di-share di whatsapp group. Lalu muncul lagi di timeline Facebook gue dengan wanti-wanti agar warga Bandung gak langsung mengamuk.
Gue sebagai warga Bandung tidak ingin mengamuk. Artikel ini banyak benarnya.
Apa yang bisa gue lakukan di kota yang semakin dipenuhi hotel dan restoran ini? Yang pasti bukan nyela-nyela walikota atau sweeping LGBT.
Bikin concert Hall. Art cinemas showing other than Hollywood pop junk. Connected clean park. Planned and humanized urban sprawl. Banyak sekali pekerjaan.
Mungkin bisa dimulai dengan membuat film tentang kota ini.
