About Taman Sastra
Cultivating Indonesian literary heritage through poetry, workshops, and cultural celebration.
Our Story
Taman Sastra was born from a passion to celebrate and elevate Indonesian poetry and literary voices. In a world where stories often fade and verses go unheard, we created a space—a garden—where literature thrives.
Our mission is to foster a vibrant community of writers, poets, and readers who understand that literature is not just art, but a bridge between cultures, generations, and human experiences. Through publications, workshops, and cultural events, we nurture emerging talent while honoring the rich heritage of Indonesian storytelling.
Every poem published, every workshop held, every reader inspired—these are seeds planted in our ever-growing literary garden.
