WORKSHOP
A Tjap Session: A Hands-On Batik Print from Paper Waste Workshop at the opening of “Masa Depan Batik” by Sabine Bolk at Indonesia House Amsterdam. 2025 (NL)
“Hilirisasi“, the Indonesian term for “downstreaming,” is a project that explores the transformation of raw materials into refined products, a process meant to enhance their value. This project uses traditional Indonesian batik to represent this economic concept, tying the narrative of industrial processing to a national cultural identity.
