Let's Talk About the Indonesian Culture

As more and more Indonesians interact with Americans, it is time for the latter to discover and understand the various cultural aspects of Indonesia. Engage us in lively conversation!

Rumah Gadang or Rumah Bagonjong "house for the Minangkabau people" are the traditional homes of the Minangkabau in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The architecture, construction, internal and external decoration, and the functions of the house reflect the culture and values of the Minangkabau.

     The United States has long been recognized as a melting pot of cultures, and Indonesians have been part of this vibrant landscape for many years, arriving for diverse purposes and, over time, becoming integrated into the American mainstream.

     This cultural exchange has also sparked interest among some Americans in Indonesia and its traditions. Yet, many remain unfamiliar with the country and its rich heritage. At Sanggar Budaya Nusantara – Indonesian Culture Center (SBN-ICC), our mission is to bridge this gap by introducing Indonesia to broader American communities.
 

As part of this mission, we host four signature annual events
 

1. Community Collaboration

2. Spring Banquet

3. Indonesia Independence Day Celebration

4. Traditional Dance Competition

 

Each of these events highlights the richness and diversity of Indonesian culture, fostering cross-cultural understanding and building meaningful connections within local communities.
