Arts For Women Program
Today Arts for Women have several programs
- Arts Event Collaboration with several annual Literary and Art Festival, or with other organisations, such as Women Poetry Slam with Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. This year we started collaboration with Festival Sastra Banggai, in Luwuk to also collaborate with this.
- Writing with feminist perspective, a one day or two days workshop to write with local context and or issues related to gender and feminism, according to community needs. This could also be collaboration with festivals or art fair.
- Book Club or feminist book club for young people, women, adults and open for collaboration with school and universities. We will choose feminist or gender issues books to be discuss and will invite prominent writers or authors to join the discussions.
- Art Performances, with gender, women rights, diversity, tolerance and peace transformations issues. It will be a collaborative process with artists and activists to create an art performance that will be unique and specific with certain social political context at the time the performance was produced
- Publishing and Documentary House. A project usually based on research, documentation, investigation and selective process to publish a book and or produce women issues documentary film. It will involved a concept, developing team work, fundraising, research and production. The whole process could take about 1 to 2 years. Any selection to be publish as a book would be selected by our advisor and or book editors.

Awal dan Sejarah Arts for Women dari PWAG Indonesia
Awalnya tahun 2005, dinominasikan 1000 orang perempuan dari seluruh dunia, untuk panitia penominasian Nobel untuk Perdamaian. Ini adalah penominasian kolektif dari 1000 orang perempuan di seluruh dunia, baik itu pekerja perempuan, perdamaian dll, dalam berbagai bidang perdamaian dan keadilan social. Mereka datang dari 150 negara dan latarbelakang berbeda. Nominasi ini juga bertujuan menyampaikan pesan yang lebih substansial dan juga kampanye bagi penghargaan, pengajuan dan mendukung kerja-kerja dalam isu perempuan dan perdamaian. Sayangnya, penghargaan jatuh ke orang lain, dan tidak kepada 1000 Perempuan perdamaian. Setelah itu, akhir 2005, akhirnya terkumpul dokumentasi profil dan juga kehidupan para kandidat Nobel ini dan kumpulan pengetahuan yang lebih terstruktur telah berhasil dibentuk untuk melakukan publikasi secara internasiona, pembuatan film dokumentari, pameran postcard keliling dan liputan media lainnya.
Sejak 2012, PWAG berada di bawah ARTS For WOMEN, sebagai payung organisasi. DI dalam ada unit kerja:
* PBP Publishing penerbitan buku perempuan,
* FEMART, seri diskusi, klub buku, training dan workshop seni dan feminisme,
* Small Island Art Gathering inisiatif mini festival di pulau2 di seluruh indonesia, yang sudah dilakukan 3 thn terakhir Sumba Art Gathering, Flores Art Gathering, Temu Seniman Makassar, Women Poetry Slam di berbagai kota Bali, Jakarta, Luwuk, dll
* dan inisiatif lainnya yang akan terus berkembang.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
