  • Greeting

    Welcome to the Unit of the Radjo Radjo Aur Duri Foundation, a cultural institution dedicated to the preservation, research, and development of Minangkabau heritage through academic inquiry and creative production. This organization serves as a collaborative platform for scholars, artists, and communities to revitalize local cultural values through modern media. The foundation’s structure is divided into two interconnected main units, each complementing the other in fulfilling its mission.

    1. Jago Pusako Budayo Unit (Research)

    This unit serves as a center for knowledge development and cultural documentation. Within it operates the GLAM system (Gallery, Library, Archive, Museum), which forms the foundation of research and preservation activities. The unit produces data, knowledge, and documentation that serve as the basis for developing cultural products in the production unit. In line with this mission, the unit is supported by four sub-units that implement the established system: Jago Pusako Gallery, Jago Pusako Library, Jago Pusako Archive, and Jago Pusako Museum.

    Jago Pusako Coffee / Café functions as a social interaction space as well as a creative economy hub that supports GLAM activities. Beyond serving as a gathering and discussion venue for communities, academics, and artists, the café also plays a role in strengthening community networks and incubating creative ideas. Through small exhibitions, public discussions, and the sale of cultural products, the café not only enriches the visitor experience but also provides an additional source of income that sustains the operational continuity of the Foundation.

    2. Unit EUPro (Produksi)

    EUPro is an autonomous body under the Radjo-Radjo Aur Duri Foundation, serving as a driving force for creative economy initiatives while simultaneously preserving Minangkabau history. Based on research conducted by Jago Pusako Budayo, EUPro develops three main pillars: cultural craft products (Heritage & Woome), experiential programs (Rise of Minangkabau), and visual literacy through Eupro Chronicles. With its headquarters at Jago Pusako Café, EUPro integrates research, production, and distribution to create a sustainable cultural ecosystem. Its primary goals are to achieve financial independence, strengthen cultural identity, and support the Foundation through financial contributions and public education programs.
