"AMERICAN BATIK" DESIGN COMPETITION



"AMERICAN BATIK" DESIGN COMPETITION
April - November 2011


The Spirit of America in the Heritage of Batik

ABOUT "AMERICAN BATIK" DESIGN COMPETITION
The Indonesian Embassy in Washington D.C. and Indonesian Consulate Generals in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston are proud to launch a competition on "AMERICAN BATIK" DESIGN with the theme "The Spirit of America in the Heritage of Batik" to bring American values in the tradition of Indonesian Batik. The "AMERICAN BATIK" DESIGN COMPETITION (ABDC) is part of the efforts to strengthen Indonesian. United States cultural relations in the spirit of the "Joint Declaration on the Comprehensive Partnership between the Republic of Indonesia and the United States of America" announced by the Head of States of the two countries in Jakarta, on November 9, 2010.

The word Batik is originally an Indonesian-Malay word which means to dot. The term Batik usually refers to two meanings namely a way of painting and coloring textile using the traditional practice of dying cloth through wax resist method; and textile/garment with distinct pattern. This art of designing textile is widely spread in the Hindu and Malay world and has become the part of cultural identity. The tradition of Batik is very popular and well maintained as well as nurtured not only in the Island of Java, but also across the Indonesian Archipelago.
Batik always has a special place in the cultural life of Indonesians, and in October 2009, UNESCO has acknowledged and positioned Batik of Indonesia in UNESCO's Representative List of the "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity".

The main purpose of this competition is to make Batik goes global. At the same time, this competition will promote Indonesian cultural heritage through Batik to the American people and bring closer the Indonesian creative culture to American innovative popular culture. It is expected that this competition will facilitate the creation of Batik designs or pattern with the touch of American values and spirit. Hopefully, this competition will also bring about Indonesian Batik as fashion reference and commodity to the United States and the world.

08-10 OCT Retret Awal Hidup Baru

Halo rekan-rekan PWKI di Chicagoland,
PWKI dan KTM North America akan mengadakan retret tanggal 8-10 Oktober di Elburn, IL. Retret ini adalah retret Komunitas Tritunggal MahaKudus (KTM) yang affiliated with Romo Yohanes Lembah Karmel. Retret akan dibawakan oleh 3 orang suster Putri Karmel dari San Francisco dan dibantu oleh Romo-romo kita di Chicago. Musik akan dilayani oleh saudara-saudara kita dari Columbus, Ohio dan Michigan.

Untuk yang belum pernah mendengar mengenai retret KTM, retret ini sangat populer di Indonesia. Retret KTM di Lembah Karmel bisa dihadiri ratusan orang, dan kadang sampai ribuan orang. Jadi ini kesempatan yang jarang ada untuk bisa ikut retret KTM tanpa perlu travel jauh dan suasana retret bisa akrab karena jumlah peserta retretnya tidak sebanyak di Indonesia. Harap dimanfaatkan karena ini kesempatan yang langka untuk pertumbuhan iman Katolik kita.

Retret dimulai dari Jumat malam sampai minggu siang. Biaya retret $100/adult (after 15 September: $120/adult) dan $30/child (under 7 years old). Untuk yang berminat ikut retret, diharapkan segera mendaftar supaya bisa di-finalize headcount-nya. Ini akan sangat membantu panitia retret untuk mengatur jumlah kamar dan konsumsi untuk peserta retret.

Untuk registrasi dan keterangan lebih lanjut, bisa hubungi di:E-mail: retretchicago@Gmail.com [Cynthia]Phone: (262) KATOLIK (262-528-6545) - [Kathy, Rina] http://www.pwki.org/
Have a great summer, and we hope to see a lot of you at the retreat in October.
