Noto Titik: Batik Nitik and the Stories Behind
As part of our Short Cultural Programs, BSG Culture House presents an experience focused on the rich tradition of batik in Yogyakarta. The Batik Nitik program highlights the intricate dot-based patterns from Dusun Kembangsongo, renowned for their deep religious and philosophical significance. The full-day program includes an exploration of Batik Nitik's history and creation process, culminating in a hands-on workshop where participants can craft their own pieces with guidance from experienced artisans.
Noto Titik: Batik Nitik and the Stories Behind provides a unique opportunity to delve into the rich heritage of Batik Nitik, a symbol of Javanese cultural identity and craftsmanship. Beginning with a warm welcome, participants are introduced to the history and beliefs surrounding Batik Nitik, tracing its roots from Kembang Songo to its significance in resisting colonial economic control. The village tour offers a glimpse into the local community, followed by an engaging workshop where participants experience the intricate process of creating Batik Nitik firsthand. The day is punctuated with a communal cooking session and lunch, fostering a sense of community and shared cultural appreciation. The afternoon continues with the workshop's second part, allowing for deeper exploration and practice. The program concludes with a relaxed networking session, providing time for participants to reflect, engage in informal discussions, and bid farewell. This day-long journey not only highlights the artistic and historical significance of Batik Nitik but also strengthens the connection between tradition and modern expression.
