Batik is a craft, regarded as Indonesia\u2019s most prided intangible heritage. Artists Kabul and Mintio collaborated with the batik-makers Kebon Indah in Java. The outcome of this collaboration is a series of self-portraits. These portraits are a combination of photography with symbolic batik motifs. The photographs of the batik-makers are first printed onto fabric with cyanotype printing . The women then respond to their own image by making batik patterns on and around them.<\/p>

The combination of photography and batik is a result from the art-making journey. For 14 months, Kabul and Mintio developed insights into the daily lives of the batik-makers. These artworks are an exploration into the relationships that the batik-makers uphold. Be it with their families, the village community and their craft. Kabul and Mintio created these works to acknowledge the labor of women in the Indonesian culture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
