Ambassador Adam Tugio, joined by the guest of honor, Irfan Ul Haque, GM Operations Centaurus Mall, and Mohsin Qamar, CEO Batik Studio, cut the ribbon to open the batik clothing exhibition.
The potential for expanding batik clothing exhibition, Indonesia’s connection with Pakistan is immense. Likewise, it is because of shared historical, religious, and cultural links as well as striking parallels. As a result, encouraging people-to-people interaction promotes the critical role that many stakeholders may play in bolstering the bilateral relationship’s strength and vitality.
Indonesia has a wealth of art and culture that was interwoven with religion and long-standing customs. Indonesian crafts vary in material and art form, and the people are naturally artistic, expressing themselves on canvas, wood, metals, clay, and stone.
Batik was historically the most expressive and delicate of the resist techniques. All of the above, they used the most uniquely Indonesian cloth. Certainly, Batik is deeply entwined with the Indonesian people’s cultural identity and shows their creativity and spirituality. It shows the symbolic meanings of its colors and designs.
The embassy will also host “The Pakistan Batik Design Competition” in conjunction with Pakistani universities. Moreover, ornate designs, patterns, and colors are formed by brushing or pouring hot wax onto undyed fabric in batik textiles. Similarly, after dyeing the fabric, the wax is removed with boiling water, revealing the patterns.
