Tji Srikandi-Goodhart Awarded for the MCSA Quiet Achievers 2022

Uncategorized

The Multicultural Communities Council of South Australia (MCCSA) has awarded some groups of women for their tireless efforts in the community. AS part of International Women’s Day, this award shines a light on some of the quiet achievers who have contributed to their community. For the 2022 awards, nine women have proudly become a recipient of this award, one of them is Tji Srikandi-Goodhart, from the Indonesian Community.

Tji has been an active member of the Australian-Indonesian Association of SA inc. (AIASA) since its inception in 1968, the aim of which is to promote better understanding and goodwill between the Indonesian and Australian people, based on friendship, respect and trust. As President of the AIASA from 2014-to 2016, Tji coordinated the annual Indofest-Adelaide, a major festival involving more than 20 Indonesian community groups.

The AIASA also provides a platform to nurture cohesion among the ethnically, culturally and religiously diverse Indonesian communities in South Australia and aspires to represent them at an inter-governmental soft-diplomacy level.

Throughout her student and early working life, Tji shared her love, skills, and knowledge of the land of her birth with fellow Australians through Indonesian performing arts as a traditional dancer, choreographer, gamelan player and presenter at many events. She also taught Indonesian dancing over the years, including to schoolteachers of Indonesian language and culture, who in turn could teach their students.

Indofest Schools Program

The Indofest Schools Program got off to a roaring start earlier this month. As part of the program, local Indonesian groups have been visiting schools throughout to share Indonesian culture with the students Some schools have been lucky to receive a sample of what’s in store in the upcoming Cultural and Culinary Festival on Sunday, September 25. Although we are only half way through the program, it is proving to be very popular on Indofest’s social media accounts with lots of positive feedback and sharing and liking of photographs shared by the schools and participants. A big terima kasih to the Department for Education and Child Development for sponsoring this program! For more about the Indofest Schools Program head to our website.

19-23 September,  State Library of South Australia Atrium, North Tce 

Each day this week the State Library Atrium will be transformed into a mini Indonesian pasar with art and craft displays, workshops and demonstrations.  Go on a journey to the kampung with Bapak Ferry as he reveals the secrets to turning bamboo into finely tuned musical instruments. Marvel at the skill Wayan Dudug displays in transforming dull pieces of wood into masterpieces fit for a Raja’s garden. Learn about the Javanese and Balinese alphabet. Considered the most elaborate and ornate scripts of Southeast Asia, they are fast becoming forgotten since the adoption of Bahasa as the national language. 

All this and more is taking place during the week leading up to the Indofest-Adelaide 2016 Cultural and Culinary Festival on Sunday 25 September.
