Indonesian politics, but make it readable.
The gap nobody was filling
What Is Up, Indonesia? (WIUI) is an independent media platform that curates Indonesian social, political, and cultural issues 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.
So we started a primer
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.
Memes are part of the strategy
Many who are educated internationally are not fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, making the country’s political discourse inaccessible through the conventional news. Although English sources are available, most are not beginner-friendly. We hope to bridge this gap through WIUI.

If you want to help WIUI to stay independent as much as possible, fun, sane, and alive – here’s how to keep us going.
Our community has connected us to informants, advised us on issues, and basically built this thing with us.
