Beberapa waktu lalu, Jakarta Feminist dan Pamflet Generasi berkolaborasi mengadakan kegiatan Melamun, sebuah ruang bagi orang muda untuk merefleksikan isu-isu di sekitar. Kali ini, kami sepakat merenungkan gerakan perempuan di Indonesia. Tema ini kami pilih mengingat kegiatan Melamun berlangsung tepat di 8 Maret, Hari Perempuan Sedunia.
Selain bertepatan dengan Hari Perempuan Sedunia, kala itu, kondisi situasi politik di Indonesia juga cukup genting. Beberapa gelombang aksi massa menandai renungan kita, utamanya aksi #TolakRUUTNI.
Karena formatnya yang guyub, tidak ada narasumber, memungkinkan Melamun, jadi platfom untuk saling berbagi dan mendengarkan di antara pegiat muda. Refleksi kemudian dituangkan dalam bentuk zine yang dibuat sendiri oleh masing-masing peserta Melamun. Zine ini lah yang kemudian kita kurasi menjadi Zine Minerva.
Di dalamnya tertuang hasil refleksi pegiat muda terhadap pengelaman personal mereka, pandangan mereka terhadap komunitas terdekat, hingga dinamika antara gerakan perempuan dan situasi politik saat ini.

Recently, Jakarta Feminist and Pamflet Generasi collaborated to host Melamun, a space for young people to reflect on the issues around them. This time, we chose to contemplate the women’s movement in Indonesia. We selected this theme as Melamun took place on March 8th, International Women’s Day.
In addition to coinciding with International Women’s Day, the political situation in Indonesia at the time was also quite tense. Several waves of mass protests framed our reflections, especially the #TolakRUUTNI demonstration.
Because of its intimate, communal format—with no designated speakers—Melamun became a platform for young activists to share and listen to one another. The reflections were then expressed in the form of zines, each created by Melamun participants themselves. These zines were later curated into Zine Minerva.
Inside, you’ll find young activists’ reflections on their personal experiences, perspectives on their closest communities, and the dynamics between the women’s movement and today’s political climate.
