GALA DINNER OF THE AMERICAN BATIK DESIGN COMPETITION 2013 AWARDS CEREMONY AND KICK OF EVENT OF THE INDONESIAN CELEBRATION WEEK In expanding the success of the First American Batik Design Competition in 2011, the Embassy of Indonesia in Washington D.C., in cooperation with the Indonesian Consulate Generals in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco, launched a second American Batik Design Competition in March 2013. The competition aims to creatively introduce and internationalize Indonesian batik to the world, and to encourage the acculturation of Indonesia’s batik into America’s cultural diversity. The American Batik Design Competition in 2011 was the first time a batik design competition was organized in a foreign country, and has now been replicated in other countries such as in Italy. It has effectively helped strengthen people to people relations between the United States and Indonesia, and has brought Indonesia’s creative culture closer to America’s innovative popular culture. Appreciation towards Indonesian culture amplified when American designers learned more about batik, while Indonesians grasped a greater understanding of American values. This competition is a challenge to U.S. based designers to craft batik designs with a distinct American style – hence the theme, “ The spirit of America in the heritage of batik ”. Three winning designers will have the opportunity to travel to cities in Indonesia on a two‐week batik tour, exhibitions in Indonesia and in the U.S., and in addition, each winner will receive a cash prize of $7,000. Since the 2011, the competition has brought together nine themes of the amazing American Batik designs: Cowboy, Totem, Divine Unity, Wheat, Beach, Stars and Stripes, Buffalo and QR Code. In 2013, there will be five additional pieces of American batiks, which had been transformed in Yogyakarta from their digital blueprints into real batik cloths. Batik is an art of painting and coloring textile using the traditional practice of dying cloth through a wax resist method. This art of designing textile is greatly celebrated and widespread across the Indonesian Archipelago. It has become an integral part of Indonesia’s cultural identity. To celebrate the final stage of the competition, Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony will be held on October 30th 2013 at the Mandarin Oriental … Continue reading
