Cartoon exhibition at TIM

Cartoon exhibition at TIM

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Cartoonist Association and the
German-based Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung Foundation will put on a
three-day cartoon exhibition beginning on Oct. 6 at the Taman
Ismail Marzuki (TIM) arts center in Central Jakarta.

The exhibition, titled The House of Representative and the
People's Representation, will display cartoons which represent
the public's perspective of the House.

These cartoons give some insight into the public's perception
of the role and performance of the House, and whether the
legislators, who were elected in a free and fair election last
year, have fought for their constituents' interests.

The exhibition is aimed at providing the people an education
in democracy through cartoons, and urging young people to become
actively involved in the country's ongoing process of
democratization.

The Bandung Apresiator Theater will perform during the
exhibition's opening. (dja)
