My Experience Being a Cultural Activist from 2006 Until Now: My Experience #1
My Experience Being a Cultural Activist from 2006 Until Now
Only the cultural remains of civilization we have. Politics, we've lost.
After ASNLF (GAM) and RI reconciled on August 15, 2005, I continued my joy, writing. I started writing a novel, which was later published under the title Teuntra Atom in 2009.
Established Sanggar Seuneumah Nanggroe, 2006
About 2006, I founded a dance studio, because there is a girl in the village who like to dance. The studio we founded as a place to train children to dance. There are several groups of children who study there.
They have performed in several events, including PKA (5th Aceh Cultural Week) event, in August 2009, in Banda Aceh. After that, I rarely take care of them because there are other friends who take care of it, I'm already in Banda Aceh.
Established Saman Cultural Institute, 2009

Established Saman Cultural Institute, 2009
In 2009, I and my friends established an Institution called the Cultural Institute of Saman (LBS). We have published several cultural editions of cultural magazines. It was the first cultural magazine in Sumatra. It's name is SAMAN Cultural Magazine.
In addition to publishing magazines, we propose to the Deputy Governor of Aceh, then Muhammad Nazar, to register Saman Dance to UNESCO.
\We also ask for the support of the military, namely the Commander of Kodam Iskandar Muda (Kodam IM). They also support. Thereafter, registration is a government affair and related organization. Our affairs as activist pusher, finished.*
Established PuKAT (Cultural Center of Aceh-Turkey), 2012
Established PuKAT (Cultural Center of Aceh-Turkey), 2012
In 2012, with colleagues from Aceh and Turkey, Dr Mehmet Ozay (a graduate of Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey) and Nia Deliana (graduate student of history and civilization at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia), I founded an international cultural institution called PuKAT Cultural Center of Aceh-Turkey).
PuKAT runs a cultural seminar, almost every month in 2013. It co-operates with ACC (Aceh Community Center) Sultan II Selim, Banda Aceh. Until 2015, regular seminars are held every few months. But other activities we still do, such as helping the socialization of Turkish scholarships, and so forth.
In 2014, PuKAT began sending selected people from Aceh youth to attend Harman Internship in Istanbul, Turkey. At that time we sent Ariful Azmi Usman @arfa to Istanbul, for Harman Internship. By the committee, he was assigned a one-month internship on TRT Turkish Radio and Television, Istanbul. The event was followed by many students from various countries.
After that, PuKAT offered a partnership with YTB (Yurtdsi Turkeler Basbakanlik) -A scholarship department in Turkey's prime minister's office, to publish Harman Internship's Ariful Azman Usman @arfa travel book, and the book seminar was continued in Banda Aceh and Lhokseumawe, The event was themed "Travelog Aceh to Istanbul".
Proposed PuKAT was accepted, and the events we did well.
In 2015, for the Harman Internship event in Istanbul, we send graduate students majoring in agriculture, graduates of Unsyiah, and are taking a graduate degree in agriculture at IPB (Bogor Agricultural University). His name is Iqbal.
In 2015, PuKAT sent two people to attend the magazine exhibition, organized by TURDEB (Turkiye Dergiler Berligi), an association of journal editors in Turkey engaged in publishing (magazine).
At that time we sent Teuku Zulkhairi and Teuku Farhan. The event was followed by various magazine representatives on several continents.
Established Hamzah Fansuri School, 2013
Established Hamzah Fansuri School, 2013
In 2013, me and Mirza Putra founded an organization about writing, at that time we gave the Literary Institute Hamzah Fansuri.
After several months of running, the activity had to be stopped. In addition, on the occasion, together with Zulfadli Kawom, we held the Hamzah Fansuri Literary Camp, for two days in February 2013, in Banda Aceh.
In 2015, Muhajir Ibn Marzuki (then he was still Chairman of Mapesa) invited to create writing training activities. So I invited him to revive the Literary Institute Hamzah Fansuri (ISHF).
So, with my friend at PuKAT, I deliberated for the new name of the training, because I wanted to replace the name ISHF.
And, we agree, the new name for it is Hamzah Fansuri School, then by itself, ISHF changed its name to Hamzah Fansuri School (SHF). I also want to change the log.
After doing our homework with colleagues at PuKAT as well, we agreed on SHF logo form. I met @vannour for who can design nice logo, he said Addin Ismail, then I meet Addin Ismail, and he also designed the logo of Hamzah Fansuri School.
On behalf of Hamzah Fansuri School, we organize several writing classes, and one speech class, in 2015, 2016. It's free.
Some young people who just joined in steemit there are SHF alumni. Among them are: @ripperdbl, @fadhila, @fadilaceh, and some others.
SHF uses learning methods in the outdoors, as well as coffee shops. And free. I (Thayeb Loh Angen @peradabandunia) is the teacher.
In 2017, we are also writing writing for elementary school children.
Proposing Formed Forum of Aceh Heritage City, 2017
Proposing Formed Forum of Aceh Heritage City, 2017
In 2017, to support research activities and restore usability and historical rights, I propose the establishment of a forum of bersma. The important person agreed with the establishment of the forum together is the researcher Taqiyuddin Muhammad @keuudiep.
So at a rally, we agreed, the name of the forum together is Forum of Aceh Heritage City (FKPA).
There are dozens of organizations from various fields who participate in nature. We chose Teuku Farhan as chairman of FKPA, I myself was appointed as general secretary. Our job for FKPA is so much.
That's a big job. May God help us.
In addition to creating some of the organizations that I belong to as a founder and caretaker, I also participate in cultural organization activities created by other comrades, for example meuseuraya activities by Mapesa, friends of CISAH, Aceh's celebration of relationships with other countries by GATA, KWPSI (Journalist organizations), and so on.
All that much activity I can not write here because it could reach hundreds of pages. About culture, I often discuss with @keuudeip, @vannour, fellow cultural activists in other Mapesa like like @steemwart, and others.
Also other young colleagues such as @arfa, Teuku Zulkhairi, Teuku Farhan, and many more mudan and elderly figures, are my discussion friends about culture. Sometimes we talk about politics, but more often about culture, because we are cultural activists.
Although I am also a journalist, writer and ex-combatant, however, I talk more often about culture, and call myself a cultural activist.
Expressing Self as a Cultural Activist
Expressing Self as a Cultural Activist
In fact, I was the first person in Aceh, who claimed to be a cultural activist. I declare it in 2012. I'm confident to do it, and I think, I am reasonable to do it, to raise the image of culture, and all the activities we do.
It makes us happy. What matters is happiness.
