What Is Up, Indonesia? (WIUI)

What Is Up, Indonesia? (WIUI) is an independent media platform that curates Indonesian socio-politics in an accessible manner for internationally-raised Indonesian youths. Here in WIUI we use memes, jokes, and pop culture references to talk about politics to make it more approachable and less intimidating. WIUI was first founded in August 2020 as a primer for internationally-raised Indonesian (those who go to an English-speaking school, university abroad, born/raised overseas) who were unfamiliar with the intricacies of Indonesian politics. Many who are educated internationally are not fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, making the country’s political discourse inaccesible through the conventional news. Although English sources are available, most are not beginner-friendly. We hope to bridge this gap through WIUI. On Youtube, we will have discussions, deep-dives, and casual conversations about Indonesia sociopolitics with various actors and guest speakers.
