at aNERDgallery in Singapore
The Paper Sarong workshop explores the rich culture of pattern-making inspired by Javanese Batik. In conjunction with the exhibition ‘The Cloth Remembers‘ at aNERDgallery, artist Sabine Bolk draws references from batik story cloth and invites participants to reflect what stories can patterns tell about who we are, where we come from and how we relate to our surroundings?
After an introduction to batik history with examples of traditional designs, motifs and symbolism, participants will create their paper sarong in groups. Using drawing and pattern-making techniques, participants will translate personal stories and observations into visual motifs – one that reflects identity, community and belonging.
Note: This workshop emphasises the collective making and design process of batik. This workshop is suitable for people of all ages.
