KAMI PUNYA CARA
BERBEDA ATASPENGUKUHAN BATIK
OLEH UNESCO
ami punya cara berbedamerayakan keputusan dan
penetapan UNESCO
(United Nations of
Education, Science, and Culture
Organization) atas batik salah satu world
intangible heritage dari Indonesia.
KEuforia perayaan di tanah air
ditunjukkan dengan memakai batik
sebagai simbolisasi ditetapkan salah satu peninggalan budaya Indonesia tersebut
dan sebagai wujud menjaga menghargai
salah satu khazanah budaya kita miliki.
Kami tampil dengan konsep
berbeda. Mahasiswa Indonesia dalam
Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia (PPI) di
Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) pada
(02/10) melakukan sebuah aksi.
Acara diawali dengan berkumpul
di depan Perpustakaan Sultanah Bahiyah
mengenakan corak batik beragam pukul
15.30 sore waktu Malaysia
Aksi kampanye sekitar 100
mahasiswa Indonesia ini dimulai dengan
memanjatkan doa bersama untuk para
korban gempa bumi, dilanjutkan berjalan
kaki mengelilingi kampus, diselingi juga
foto bersama dan membagikan selebaran.
Isi selebaran tersebut adalah beritapenetapan batik Indonesia oleh UNESCO
serta berbagai pengetahuan batik kepadawarga kampus baik lokal (Malaysia) dan
terutama mahasiswa Internasional.
Acara lalu berakhir di Dewan
Muadzam Shah, UUM pada pukul 6 sore
waktu Malaysia.
Aksi damai ini merupakan peduli
kami sebagai bagian dari masyarakat
Indonesia di Malaysia. Akhir-akhir ini
konflik budaya antara Indonesia danMalaysia sering timbul memanas.
Untuk itulah, mahasiswa Indonesia
yang merupakan duta bangsa di Malaysia
merasa terpanggil dan bertanggung jawab
menjadi garda terdepan dalam mengatasi
isu-isu berlaku diantara kedua negara.
Atas hal tersebut, selain sebagai
perayaan dan ucapan syukur pengukuhan
UNESCO, aksi ini juga memperkenalkan
kembali budaya Indonesia di Malaysia
dan di mata Internasional.
Hal tersebut juga sebagai salah satu
upaya penegasan kepada semua pihak
terutama Malaysia bahwa batik adalah
milik Indonesia secara sah setelah
diakuinya batik Indonesia oleh UNESCO
di Abu Dhabi, Uni Emirat Arab.

BATIK
n 2nd of October, batik isrecognized by UNESCO
(United Nations
Educational, Scientific, andCultural Organization) as a unique
hallmark of Indonesian heritage.OThe word batik is originated fromJavanese, from Indonesia, as combination
ofamba (to write) and titik(dot/point).
The term was originally used for
the traditional technique to color the cloth
by manual wax-resist dyeing technique, but nowadays the term is used for the
cloth that use batikpatterns even thoughthe cloth doesnt use batiktechnique.
BatikTechnique
Batik maker uses the concept ofresisting the dye using wax so dye colors
specific part of cloth that is not waxed.
Melted wax is applied to cloth before being dipped in dye then cloh is
hung up to dry it.
The melted wax is called malam inJavanese language.
Sometimes there is more than one
color, which means there will be repeated
process of waxing, dyeing, and drying.
After the last drying, the wax needs
to be dissolved by either dipped the cloth
in solvent or ironed between paper towelsor newspapers, to absorb the wax and
reveal the characteristic of batik: deeprich colors and fine crinkle lines.
Batik Tulis
The traditional batik manualwaxing using canting, a tool of a copper
bowl with spout, which where the waxwill seeps out, and wooden hand in which
the copper part is inserted.
Fine spout is used for delicate lines
while wide spot is used to fill over the
background area.
There is also bowl with multiple
spots to make rosette of 5/7 points.
The job to make batik usingcanting is usually exclusive for woman,except in the area ofpesisir, the coast.
In other areas, another extra tool
used such as in Indramayu, a fishing
community, which they use complonganwhich is like a comb with fine needles to
penetrate wax to make cocohan, the dots.

In around 20th century, Javanese
developed the copper block with batik pattern on it. The block is applied hot
wax and then stamped to cloth. It is faster
than manual write.

batik cap.
Batik Cetak

modern advance, there are clothes thatincorporate batik pattern even though itdoesnt use the batiktechnique.
It prints the same design
repeatedly. Thus, as batik cetak is theleast exclusive but the cheapest of all.
Batik cetak is the common namefor the clothes result from this method, as
cetakis print in Indonesian.
There is also special treatment, like
putting the gold leaf or gold dust using
handmade glue, which will stay on, even
after the cloth has been washed.
