June 13, 2021 was our great sadness for the passing of Toeti Heraty N. Roosseno at the age of 87. She was the President Director of Biro Oktroi Rooosseno, who was also the first generation of Indonesian feminist thinkers, a great Indonesian poet and writer, philanthropist, philosopher, a humanist, a high integrity and dedicated professor and lecturer, an IP consultant, an excellent professional and a kind-hearted leader, which she consistently kept until her last moment.
Thus, to commemorate and celebrate her thoughts, Cemara 6 Galeri – Toeti Heraty Museum is organizing the archive exhibition “Aku dalam Budaya.”
Toeti Heraty made significant contributions to Indonesian thought and culture. One of her renowned and notable contributions is her dissertation, “Aku dalam Budaya,” a study of cultural philosophy theory and methodology. This dissertation earned her a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Faculty of Literature at the University of Indonesia and also made her the first woman in Indonesia to attain a PhD in Philosophy.
This dissertation was first published by Pustaka Jaya in 1984 and reissued in 2013.
The exhibition gathered 250 cultural writings authored by Toeti Heraty from 1961 until her passing in 2021. It takes place at Cemara 6 Galeri – Toeti Heraty Museum, located at Jl. HOS Cokroaminoto No. 9-11, Menteng, Jakarta Pusat, from June 13 to July 13, 2024.
This archive exhibition was inaugurated by Hilmar Farid, the Director General of Culture at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbud Ristek), who was also Toeti Heraty’s former student.
