That was the message and the title of an ethnographic film that was shown yesterday at RMAP’s luncheon seminar presented by Dr. Yunita Winarto, Associate Professor in Anthropology at the University of Indonesia, Jakarta and Academy Professor in Social Sciences and Humanities at the Graduate School, Gadjah Madha University, Yogyakarta.
