Creative Process Residency Program Through the Medium of Batik
About our Creative Process Residency
The Art Focused programs at BSG use batik as an educational medium to blend traditional knowledge with contemporary creative processes, following the Javanese concept of Ngèlmu Iku Kelakonè Kanti Laku, which emphasizes learning by doing. The residency program builds on this approach, exploring the Tribawana practice that connects the self, nature, and creativity. Residents develop special projects under the guidance of Agus Ismoyo and Nia, often culminating in public exhibitions, with a focus on preserving cultural wisdom while fostering artistic growth. Below, we are providing a PDF that explains the details of our residency program.
Our residency programs are based on the methodology and modules described above and range from 2 weeks to a year. A 2-week to 1-month residency allows participants to work on smaller-scale projects, while a 2-month to 1-year residency offers the opportunity to develop larger projects with exhibitions and public programs tailored to the residency experience.
The heritage creative process taught through batik in our residency program isn't solely aimed at participants continuing in the medium of batik, although the introduction to basic techniques enables this possibility. More importantly, it aims to unlock creative channels for participants to use across various creative mediums.
