JAKARTA - Cinta artist Laura Kiehl wants to voice the greatness of women in Indonesia while attending an international film festival, the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, which will be held from 16 to 27 May.
He assessed that Indonesia in the eyes of the global community is often described as a country that is rampant with poverty, radicalism, and natural disasters.
In her upload on Instagram, Saturday, May 27, Cinta showed the dress she wore at the red carpet at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
"It is inspired by the figure of a magic woman in Indonesian folklore. She is the Queen of the South Sea: elegant, brave, and charming. Very proud to be able to represent Indonesia on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival wearing a very beautiful work that displays my beautiful legacy. Thankful!," she wrote in English.
Before leaving for Cannes, Cinta explained, Indonesia is a very diverse country from a cultural perspective and has successful women in the fields of business, entertainment, and other sectors of work.
"There are so many female figures who are inspiring, innovative, and also make various breakthroughs in the industry," said Cinta.
Therefore, he wants to convey the message to the global community through his participation in the 2023 Cannes Film Festival event later.
"So what I hope to do when I go to Cannes Film Festival is show the world (so what I want to do when I go to the Cannes Film Festival later is to show the world) that there are so many Indonesian women who are very great, educated, talented, bold, and not inferior to any woman in this world," said Cinta.
This Indonesian-German mixed-blooded artist conveyed the importance of women's representation in the world of entertainment or cinema because the potential of Indonesian women is unlimited.
He added that women have various definitions of feminity so that they are free to express themselves like anything, both as graceful and gentle women as well as vocal and critical women.
In addition, Cinta also voiced equality in the rights and obligations of men and women so that the media can play a role in spreading the paradigm to the public.
