Textiles of Lombok: Revelations Over The Past 50 Years
Textiles of Lombok: Revelations Over The Past 50 Years
Although centrally situated in the Indonesian archipelago, Lombok has attracted relatively little attention from textile scholars, the largely Muslim Sasaks being widely viewed as rather dull relations of their exuberant Hindu Balinese neighbours across the strait to the west.
This richly illustrated lecture will hopefully dispel any notion of Sasak woven textiles as monotonous and inconsequential. And in doing so, provide some understanding of the roots of those Sasak textile traditions that survive in Lombok today.
