Batik Colloquium: Enduring Art of Dyers In Indonesia
Film Screening + Lectures + Batik Demonstration + Indonesian Dance & Music Performance + Batik Trunk Show + Potluck Lunch
Sunday, 14 October, 2018 at Hillside Club, Berkeley, California, USA
Slow Fiber Studios hosted a series of events focused on Javanese life and culture through the lens of its batik traditions. Batik touches on just about every aspect of Indonesian life. From the cloth a child is wrapped in when it is born to the clothing worn by Indonesian leaders at important gatherings, batik binds a proud nation to a long and cherished cultural identity. Batik is truly “intangible”, as UNESCO proclaimed in 2009. It is part of our world heritage, the identity of an island nation, worthy of admiration and preservation.
