Abstract

The emergence of Islamic art and culture organizations is an important aspect of Indonesian cultural history between 1950 and 1965. These organizations were part of an unprecedented rise in Islamic cultural consciousness in Indonesia at this time, which also produced new genres of Islamic-inspired literature ( sastra keagamaan ) (Goenawan Mohamad 1969:88) and film (Misbach Yusa Biran 1990:37). The activity surrounding Indonesian Islamic art and culture during the 1950-1965 period led to the formation of two important cultural organizations based on Indonesian interpretations of Islamic thought and practice. These were the Himpunan Seni Budaja Islam (HSBI), formed in 1956, and Lembaga Seniman Budayawan Muslim Indonesia (LESBUMI), formed in 1962. The new world of Islam (1921) was particularly concerned with rise of Islam in the countries of the Africa-Asia region. For Indonesian Islamic artists and cultural figures, the Konferensi Islam Afrika-Asia (KIAA) was an event of major significance.
