Subculture Community Against Disharmony: Denpasar Kolektif Community on Bali Tolak Reklamasi Movement

Abstract

Collaboration between subcultural communities and indigenous peoples in BaliTolak Reklamasi is a concrete example of cross-group solidarity in fighting a development project that is considered detrimental and damaging to the environment and the rights of indigenous peoples. Subcultural communities (for example, punk communities) often have concerns about environmental and social issues. They often reject development projects that are considered environmentally unfriendly and have the potential to damage natural sustainability. In the case of Bali Tolak Reklamasi, the punk community became a natural ally for indigenous groups that felt threatened by the project. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach (phenomenology) with a focus on data collection in the Denpasar Kolektif (DenKol) community. The results of this study show three roles played by Denpasar Kolektif in the Bali Tolak Reklamasi movement: 1. Campaign and Joint Action; 2. Education and Awareness; 3. Resource Gathering
