We’re isolating ourselves from the real world, living in our own worlds we make. We build up a wall to separate us from the reality, and even the simplest and trivial things around us. “Writing, at its best, is a lonely life.” (Ernest Hemingway) Although writing has been considered as a solitary process, we often forget that in the process of writing, we need to look for ideas to produce a good writing and some criticism to improve our writing. Because of that, in 2013, Syarafina Vidyadhana and Rain Chudori initiated The Murmur House, a community in which young writers can enrich their ideas and experience. The Murmur House hopes to be a home for young writers to reconnect with reality and the real world, with new people, with our own emotions and our own selves. We want to learn and grow together. In the meantime, The Murmur House has two main projects, which are Murmuration and Murmur Journal. Murmuration is a literature appreciation event in the form of readers’ gathering, in which there will be readings of poetry or novel excerpts. Another project of ours, Murmur Journal, is a literary journal which consists of poetry, prose and essays in English. The writings will be accompanied by photos or illustrations. The first theme for Murmur Journal is “Welcome to Warmth”, a manifestation of our longing to step out of our cold, lonely and alienating writing exile to share with our readers. Most of our writers, illustrators and photographers are young people in their 20s with an urge to keep writing and developing their works. To introduce The Murmur House, we will hold an event called Murmuration1 at Reading Room Lt2, Jalan Kemang Timur No.57A, Jakarta Selatan at 3 -6 pm. There will be poetry and prose readings from Agung Setiawan, Agustina Pringganti, Arman Dhani, Ben Laksana, Dinda Larasati, Halida Aisyah, Josefine Yaputri, Laksmita Widyanie, Rain Chudori, Rebecca Kezia, Syarafina Vidyadhana, Tassilsa and several impromptu acts, and music performances by Bin Idris and Mataharibisu. We will also open the first batch pre-order of Murmur Journal. In Murmur House, we find and are found. We hope to keep growing and consistently not only produce fresh, diverse and unlimited works, but also give an exciting reading experience for our readers and become the quintessential voice of our generation.
