BACKGROUND:
2024 is the Year of ASEAN-China People-to-People Exchange. The two sides plan to hold more than 100 related activities throughout the year, including youth, tourism, media, education, art, and sports.
This inspired China Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia to collaborate with Bentara Budaya Jakarta (Kompas Gramedia Group) and HOCA (House Of Cartoon maniA) to organize an event in the field of visual arts, especially cartoons and comics to strengthen the relationship between Chinese and ASEAN communities.
Cartoons/comics as a universal language are easily understood by people more than textual works. Cartoon art is also the most popular visual style in the world. So cartoons/comics can be used as a means or bridge to understand each other and strengthen relationships between people of different ethnicities, cultures, languages, beliefs and countries.
There is a family story in Bali, Indonesia. According to history, during the reign of King Jayapangus Harkajalancana (1181-1269 A.D.), King Jayapangus married a Chinese girl named Kang Cing We, who brought advanced culture and technology to the region.King Jayapangus's palace was located in the area of today's Kintamani, Bangli regency. King Jayapangus' palace at Kintamani in present day Bangli district. The palace was converted into the Pura Dalem Balingkang temple, where people pray for good luck.
Contestants are expected to explore other stories in their region or country according to their own creativity. However, works are not limited to reality, fiction/fantasy stories are also allowed as long as they comply with the applicable requirements. It is hoped that this contest and exhibition will further grow togetherness and mutual understanding between Chinese and ASEAN communities and enhance cooperation between communities in various fields.
