PD Day 2020

For the first time, GLAM Indonesia, with the help of Wikimedia Indonesia and Creative Commons Indonesia, celebrated Public Domain Day 2020 in Indonesia to bring the public attention to the works that have entered public domain this year. Medan City was selected to held the event considering Chairil Anwar, a prominent Indonesian poet, born here in 1922. This year marked his works to be in public domain and also other works of an Indonesian writer, Tan Malaka.

The event participated by more than 25 people from different expertise, from musician, author, university student, and cultural practitioner. Some performance were done, including reciting poem and adapting several Chairil Anwar's poems.

Museum and library visits

Site visits were done to several GLAM institutions in the beginning of 2020 to talk about the ongoing activities and to follow up proposed collaboration.

Ajip Rosidi Library and Library of Kirtigriya Museum are the institutions Wikimedia Indonesia is currently working with. Meanwhile, Indonesia Museum of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Deli Serdang Museum, and STAIS Al-Ishlahiyah are some institutions we have been proposing the collaboration. We are trying our best to make the cooperation between these institutions happen this year.
