This workshop is a multi-media exploration of creative process that is intrinsic in batik making called Tribawana. It is rooted in the concepts of olah tubuh (olah=understanding the presence of, tubuh=the body) or a process of using the whole body and olah rasa (rasa=the five senses and an intuitive sensitivity) and the balancing of the mind and rasa. This creative process is a very ancient one and is used in many traditional creative practices throughout the achipelago of Indonesia. In addition to making art, this workshop also explores Tribawana through reading visual texts of traditional Javanese batiks and looking at 15th century temple reliefs in Java. Participants are also invited to draw from their own cultures and the different ways that Tribawana may become part of their personal creative practice. Participants may use any medium including batik to express their creative voice.
