Indonesian Batik
The word batik comes from Javanese and Malay words amba
(‘to write’) and titik (‘dot’ or ‘point’). The term batik has two
meanings: first, the painting and coloring of textiles using the
traditional practice of dying cloth through the wax resist method; and
second, cloth that has been dyed using the batik method. This art of
designing textiles is wide spread in the Hindu and Malay world, and has
become an integral part of Indonesia’s cultural identity.
Batik is worn by everyone throughout Indonesia: at home, at
school, and in offices, as well as for weddings and other formal
events. In October 2009, UNESCO included Indonesian batik in its list of
“Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”. The President of Indonesia,
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, has since called for the internationalization
of batik.
