What we’re about
We are the biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta...
...and we invite you to join us! Everyone is always welcome.
Jakarta Creatives is the community to explore, practice, or enjoy all forms of art and creativity in Jakarta. We do book swaps, karaoke nights, writing sessions, enjoy poetry together, watch movies, do photography walking tours, and much more! It's all about authentic connections in an uncomplicated and informal setting.
You can see past events here: https://4142298.xyz/jakarta-creatives/events/?type=past
Together, we are creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome. This group is a convergence of people and cultures.
Over the past 1,5 year, we have had more than 150 events with over 1,500 attendees. Everyone should always feel welcome to join disregarding from their ethnicity, nationality, religion, creed, age, language skills, gender identification, sexual orientation, background, ability, income, social status, or any other arbitrary trait.
From September 2024, we have a yearly membership fee to join our events. The membership fee is not expensive and gives access to all events + exclusive perks! There's so much more value to members than having an event fee. We guarantee keep organising plenty of events and the fee is refundable if the group closes down or if there are no events for more than three months. You can attend the first event for free and take a look!

See all- PHOTO HUNTING Vol. III: Jakarta Iconic Train StationsManggarai Train Station, Jakarta
We are the biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta…
…and we invite you to join us for this PHOTO HUNTING around Jakarta iconic train stations!
Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Experience Jakarta’s commuter life at three of the most iconic train stations in the city. The vibrant modern hub Manggarai Station, the iconic Kota Station, and the vintage Tanjung Priok station that connects the city to the seaport. The excursion will conclude at the historic Red Shop (Toko Merah) at the Old Town complex with a photo review and discussion.Your event host is a local who knows the nuts & bolts of this city, and a skilled photographer who will help you make the most of this event. Enjoy this adventure!
This trip is a photography-oriented event but open for a general audience with minimal skills in photography who want to experience the city in a new way while make new, authentic social connections.
Bring any camera you like, and take your shots at each stop and during your train ride! Post your best shots on IG tagging our community (www.intagram.com/jakarta.friends.creatives) and we will repost!
Note: This trip requires a train card to enter the station with a minimum deposit of about 15k IDR. You can buy the card directly at the station!
We have organised similar events before! You can see a few examples here:
- PHOTO HUNTING Vol. II: Lapangan Banteng (Nov 2024)
- PHOTOGRAPHY 101: A FUN PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE for Amateur Photographers
- PHOTOGRAPHY Walking Tour BY NIGHT with CASH PRIZES!
ABOUT THE VENUE
Today’s Manggarai Station is a modern double-deck train station that has an airport line. Kota Station in Jakarta maintains its art-deco style despite modern renovation in surrounding area. Not all stations are given a new face, and that's for a reason: Tanjung Priok Station was revived in 2009 and still represents the original vibe of Jakarta’s train station.- We encourage you to reach the event by public transportation
- Meeting Point on Google Maps: Alun-Alun Stasiun Manggarai (just outside Manggarai Station)

ABOUT THE EVENT
So, you want to write? Then shut up and write! Writing is 0.01% "inspiration" and 99.99% getting down to it.We will meet for a 2 hour writing session at Ngoepi in Cilandak, a lovely cafe with a cozy book corner and great coffee and snacks. It doesn't matter if you are an established writer or if you are picking up pen and paper for the first time.
Just show up, get down to it, and start writing. Everyone will be working on their own thing, and we won't talk during writing. If you need some prompt or suggestion on what to write, I'll be happy to give you some ideas.
After the 2 h session, we will switch off our laptops and close our notebooks (but if you want to keep going, feel free!) and chill down. We can also share each other texts and give feedback, if that's something someone would like to do.
The rules of the game:
- We aim to start together in order not to disrupt the process for everyone. Please be on time.
- No talking at the table during writing! After arriving at the table, we will focus on our own writing
- You can take as many breaks as you want of course
Don't be late as we want to start writing together, and please do update your RSVP at least 24h before the event if you cannot come, else you will take away a spot from a person in the waitlist. Don't be that persons! Repeated no-shows will be kicked from the group.
