Kuslan Budiman (6 April 1935 – 6 December 2018) was an Indonesian poet, fiction writer and artist. After his graduation from art school in Yogyakarta, he went to China to study Mandarin and Chinese dramatic traditions. In 1971, Kuslan moved to Moscow to study Russian.[1] He died on 6 December 2018 aged 83 from pancreatic cancer.[2]

In 1961, in

LEKRA), the cultural arm of the Indonesian Communist Party (Partai Komunis Indonesia: PKI).[3]

As other

Lekra members' village experiences forced them to confront their class-based prejudices in a transformative way.[5]

After Suharto's rise to power in 1965, as a result of his New Order regime's effort to purge communism, members of SBT became a clear target and were eventually arrested, imprisoned without trial, killed, disappeared,[3][4] or in the case of Kuslan, his original brief stay in China for study became unintended exile.[1] During Kuslan's exile, he and his comrades kept the Indonesian students and exiles in touch with each other and encouraged them to express their concerns about Indonesia.[6]

Kuslan's published writings can be found in Indonesian's exile journals. However, with the help of the internet, Kuslan's work has since been disseminated digitally as well.[1]
