JAKARTA - After the success of incubating young musicians through the Emerging Artist program with M Bloc Entertainment, Evoria Movement was again present with a new color. The EVO Diplomat Collaboration with M Bloc Space opens an incubation program for three other subcultures, namely Film, Fashion, and Arts & Design.

This was done by Evoria Movement after seeing the development of the creative industry in Indonesia that is increasingly advanced. Moreover, seeing the many artistic collaborations carried out by actors from various sub-sectors of the creative industry. Each of them responded to each other's ideas and works.

On a global scale, this cross-disciplinary collaboration trend has even become an arena to redefine what the creative industry is.

"In that process, we see a lot of experiments and exploration of ideas through collaborative patterns to open up various possible works by responding to the latest industrial developments, even involving non-community professions known as creative professions', such as software engineers," said Edric Chandra of Evoria Movement in M Bloc, South Jakarta, Thursday, April 25, 2024.

With the theme Explore to Discover More, he continued, it is hoped that Evoria Movement 2024 can inspire participants to explore ideas and open new opportunities through prepared network access. Either with fellow newcomers or those established in their respective industries.

"We want to support the arts climate in Indonesia through art activities and the spotlight of creation by art actors in Indonesia. Not only fosters potential creativity, but also as a forum for them to explore," said Edric.

Edric said, Evoria Movement is also designed with the framework of developing the capacity of young talents. Not only in terms of wealth, but also their understanding of how to convert ideas and abilities into a professional career or create an intellectual property business that can become a brand.

This year, the Evoria Movement incubation will take place on May 11-12 and May 17-18. Meanwhile, the Film, Fashion and Art & Design incubation will take place in mid-June - September 2024.

Collaboration For Industrial Sustainability

Evoria Movement is well aware of this kind of process, the length of its journey, and of course it cannot be done alone. Evoria Movement again collaborates with M Bloc Xperience, M Bloc Entertainment, and M Bloc Space, which have been successful in building creative ecosystems in various cities in Indonesia.

Since the beginning of the M Bloc ecosystem, our mission has been to create creative spaces for young people in various cities in Indonesia to be creative. Collaboration with Evoria Movement is a form of upscaling from our efforts to create a sustainable creative idea and space laboratory, "explained Lance Mengong of M Bloc Xperience.

Lance revealed that his party is also collaborating with other industrial colleagues to be involved as the supervisor of this year's Evoria Movement incubation program. "There is a Doss GuavaXR Studio that will oversee film incubation participants to virtually produce films using Xtended Reality (XR) technology which has now been widely used by Hollywood film production. Then there is the TuneCore & AXEAN Music Festival which will also provide support for music incubation participants who pass to the festival stage," he explained.

Wendy Putranto, M Bloc Space's Director Program, added that seeing Evoria's track record 10 years ago, as well as the enthusiasm of this year's registrants, Evoria Movement opened wider access to incubation winners this year through a collaboration with the TuneCore & AXEAN Music Festival.

In addition, continued Wendy, there is the Indonesia Fashion Chamber, the socialization of young fashion designers who routinely travel around Indonesia every year to provide incubation and fashion-related training. Both for students, as well as traditional wastra craftsmen.

"Meanwhile, the Arts & Design incubation will be fronted by X OpenLab, the work unit of IP development from M Bloc Xperience which focuses on new local creators," he said.

Evoria Movement directly involves industry players from various disciplined sub-sectors to provide a deep and relevant understanding for the participants. Especially regarding the current development of the industry, its impact on the development of works or products, including the impact of being contributive to social aspects in the country.

Through this series of collaborations, Evoria Movement hopes that in the process this platform can become a place to play together, not only for industry players, but also for the government to get a new perspective in making relevant policies to support the promotion of the creative industry, the cultural industry, and the development of nation brands through intellectual property exports.
