Queering Interfaith Dialogue in Indonesia; Reimagining Inclusive Theology toward Diverse Faiths, Genders and Sexualities

Wednesday Forum – 29 March 2023

Religions and queer identities are often purportedly seen as antithetical to each other, impossible to reconcile, and harshly incompatible to be openly and mutually ‘holding hands’ with each other. The misconceptions that religions and faiths cannot accept and support queer identities are pervasive that it systematically victimizes and marginalizes the life of many queer people. Yet in Indonesia, despite mainstream conservative attitude toward queer identities, queer-inclusive voices coming from faith leaders and queer activists are resisting and challenging the status quo. “Queering Interfaith Dialogue in Indonesia” is a master’s thesis of Amar Alfikar, a trans man Muslim activist who has been working in the last 7 years to advocate queer-of-faith activism in Muslim contexts.

Amar Alfikar is an Indonesian trans man activist whose work challenges religious-based queerphobia, as well as pushing queer-inclusive narratives in theology. He is the founder and director of IQAMAH (Indonesian Queer Muslim and Allies). He has published several books in Indonesian language: “Christian-Islam Progressive Interpretation of Diverse Gender and Sexuality” (GAYa Nusantara, 2019) “Understanding Trans Men in Indonesia” (Trans men Indonesia, 2020), “Islam and Queer Bodies” (YIFoS, 2022), and “Queering Interpretation: Islamic Theology for Diverse Embodiments.”

For people who learn religious studies, it is comm For people who learn religious studies, it is common to say that "religion", as a concept and category, is Western modern invention. It is European origin, exported globally through colonialism and Christian mission. Despite its noble intention to decolonize modern social categories, it suffers from historical inaccuracy. Precolonial Islamic Malay and Javanese texts in the 16th and 17th century reflect a strong sense of reified religion, one whose meaning closely resembles the modern concept.

Secara satir, penyandang disabilitas baru mendapatkan sorotan ketika dia mampu berprestasi, mampu mengatasi segala rintangan dan kekurangan. Singkat kata, penyandang disabilitas kemudian menjadi sumber inspirasi bagi nondisabilitas. Budi Irawanto menyebutnya sebagai "inspirational porn". Simak ulasan lengkapnya di situs web crcs ugm.
Human are the creature who live between the mounta Human are the creature who live between the mountain and the sea. Yet, human are not the only one who live between the mountain and the sea. Human are the one who lives by absorbing what above and beneath the mountain and the sea. Yet, human are the same creature who disrupt and destroy the mountain, the sea, and everything between. Not all human, but always human. By exploring what/who/why/and how the life between the mountain and the sea is changing, we learn to collaborate and work together, human and non-human, for future generation—no matter what you belief, your cultural background.

R A G A Ada beberapa definisi menarik tentang raga R A G A
Ada beberapa definisi menarik tentang raga di KBBI. Raga tidak hanya berarti tubuh seperti yang biasa kita pahami dalam olah raga dan jiwa raga. Raga juga dapat berarti keranjang buah dari rotan, bola sepak takraw, atau dalam bahasa Dayak raga berarti satuan potongan daging yang agak besar. Kesemua  pengertian itu menyiratkan raga sebagai upaya aktif berdaya cipta yang melibatkan alam. Nyatanya memang keberadaan dan keberlangsungan raga itu tak bisa lepas dari alam. Bagi masyarakat Dondong, Gunungkidul, raga mereka mengada dan bergantung pada keberadaan telaga. Sebaliknya, keberlangsungan telaga membutuhkan juga campur tangan raga warga.
