Indonesia is considered as one of the richest countries of its culture. With thousand of islands and tribes, Indonesia has a reason to have rich culture. The types of cultural artworks are just so many. Let’s just imagine, every tribe has its own and unique clothing style. One of the most well-known internationally may be Batik. About some times ago, Batik has been acknowledged as the world heritage. This means so much for Indonesia as it makes them easier to promote the Batik. Indonesian must be so glad with this acknowledgement. It is hoped that young Indonesians will also appreciate the heritage and even try to promote it both in national or international stage.
This spirit has been brought by UPH since the year of 2008. In that year, UPH invited Pak Johanes Tong, the expert of art, graduated from US and has performed on several occasion there. After being appointed, Pak Jo began to grow UPH Art Department. This department concentrates on art performing by UPH students. So far, they have performed several times in Jakarta and Surabaya. Some examples of the art performance are traditional dance, Indonesia classic drama, Indonesian songs, and many more. So, UPH has also joined the run for preserving Indonesia's culture. What a university! In the midst of postmodern world, UPH has the very effort to make sure that Indonesia's culture keeps alive.
