Manifesto Kebudayaan

The Cultural Manifesto (Republican spelling Indonesian: Manifes Kebudajaan, EYD: Manifes Kebudayaan, abbreviated Manikebu) was a declaration by a group of Indonesian writers and intellectuals in late 1963, including HB Jassin, Gunawan Mohamad, Gerson Poyk, and Taufiq Ismail. The group that constituted the Cultural Manifesto was in ideological contrast to Lekra (Lembaga Kebudayaan Rakyat). Members of the Lekra movement nicknamed the Cultural Manifesto "Manikebu," a humorous abbreviation that in English means "Buffalo Sperm."
