The ๐‘๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘Ÿ (north coast of Java) was a key batik-producing region in the 19th century, known for its multiculturalism and hybrid designs. However, under Dutch colonial rule, ethnic communities were segregated, and workshop owners exerted varying degrees of control over batik artists, impacting their artistic output.
This talk explores the changing relationship between batik artistry and community in the 21st century. It examines the connection between batik making and spirituality in Muslim ๐‘๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘Ÿ culture, and the role batik plays in fostering communal happiness and resilience. Interviews conducted with batik makers reveal multi-directional influences: creating batik gives them the emotional and spiritual resilience to endure hardships, which in turn engenders greater artistry in their work.
