“…A 'styling revolution' points to an artsy Indonesian youth politics which arguably symbolises an inclusivity and creative materiality performed by a group of young people who utilise the public space of the street (Lee 2011). With that appearance, the mass movement enacted by Indonesians becomes the proper reflection of a people's struggle in the country (Lee 2011).…”

The paper concerns a youth environmental movement in Bandung to save the urban forest Babakan Silawangi. It is proposed that space for protest plays a significant role in social movements such as environmentalism. Public assembly allows activists to voice their political objections and make their discontent known to the citizenry. Yet political space is different to physical place. According to Henri Lefebvre, political space is an assemblage of co-creation by individuals who occupy the space and demonstrate their subjective meanings for it in expression and lived experience. Since the subjective/collective meanings perceived and experienced by the activists are powerfully enacted, the space itself may shape their identity and this study explores those meanings, which are relational, contextual, and spatial.

“…The surge in street art's production and circulation in the last decade marks a new phase in Indonesian cultural politics, and is evidence of the transformative effects of Indonesia's transition from authoritarianism to democracy. My previous study of recent political turbulence and student movements in Indonesia (Lee ) compelled me to continue my investigation of how politics shapes the lives of ordinary Indonesians during “normal times,” and through less obvious political expressions. The primacy of youth politics in Indonesian historiography and in more recent social movements in the Reform era places youth in structural proximity to politics.…”

Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the cities of Jakarta and Yogyakarta, this paper investigates the recent surge in the production and circulation of street art through technology and media in post‐New Order Indonesia. The global style of street art communicates how public space and the street have become emblematic of changing discourses of individual rights, urban aesthetics, and the practice of citizenship in urban Indonesia. While the history of Western graffiti as a form of defacement and resistance continues to exert a powerful hold on the imagination of Indonesian street artists, I argue that the vernacular meaning of street art and graffiti refuses an easy bifurcation of public and private spaces, while blurring the lines between commercial and cultural urban interventions.

“…Cases of religious-based violence increased sharply during the Presidential election in 2018 (Temby et al, 2019). Previous research on contemporary Indonesian music development and its ability to act as a channel for delivering political messages are fairly limited (Sen and Hill, 2006;Weintraub, 2008;Lee, 2011;Martin-iverson, 2012).…”

This study sought to examine any form of criticism and resistance against the growing religious intolerance in Indonesian contemporary indie songs. The study of indie music is often marginalised in media and communication studies, even though the music itself is an effective form of media to convey socio-political messages. Indie music shows an increasingly crucial role within the map of cultural products in Indonesia mainly because it is considered an important means of conveying messages and alternative media for new Indonesian youth. Indie musicians cover sensitive issues within their lyric, including religious intolerance perpetrated by conservative Muslim groups in Indonesia. Through the discourse analysis method by Teun Van Dijk, this study found three forms of resistance discourse found in Indonesian indie music: a critique towards middle-class Muslims hypocrisy, rejection against the imposition of the sharia law, and the lament over the loss of humanity in religious practice. The research findings show that indie songs serve as a medium of resistance to a more secular, youthful audience against many issues seldom covered in mainstream media.
