Funded Activity Summary

From Muslim devotions to global niveau: the art of body percussion music as expression of cultural memory in Aceh and the diasporas. After Aceh's tsunami tragedy, Australia/ns pledged large amounts of money and effort to collaborate in rebuilding the devastated province. Results of this project can help us approach reconstruction in a more culturally sensitive way. Challenging stereotypes of Acehnese as fanatical and potentially hostile, the project can help explain Aceh's strong commitment to Islam, pride in its great cultural achievements, and the continuing war. Improved bilateral and people-to-people relations between Australians and Acehnese/Indonesians can facilitate a more confident and sympathetic interpretation of the needs of our national security. In addition, material results of the project will augment two National Collections.
