From their long history of ancient trading with multiple foreign influences, they have created their own designs different from the original culture. They’ve fused these influences together, take example of Javanese Abangan belief. It is a mix of Islam and Hindu. They’ve mixed traditional dancing, sport and art together to make Pencak Silat.

One of Indonesia’s major crafts revolves around textiles. The variety of textile techniques from Indonesia have been inspiring artists and designers alike for many years. There are three main textile practices: Batik, Ikat and Songket.

Batik is more well-known as it has travelled all the way to the West due to Colonialism. They were associated with the Dutch-wax that is especially popular in Africa. They’re different in ways that Batik has more muted colours whereas the Dutch-wax has brighter colours to the point it’s almost gaudy.

A slightly lesser known technique is Ikat. Ikat is a dyeing technique where the warp or weft yarns are resist-dyed in a similar process to tie-dyeing. The pattern is therefore pre-determined by the way in which the fibres have been dyed as opposed to standard weaving methods where the pattern is determined by the block colour of the thread.

The least well-known Indonesian textile technique is Songket. It is a traditional Indonesian brocade that is hand-woven in silk or cotton. These fabrics have intricate patterns that are then picked out with a gold or silver thread. They are used in ceremonial clothing and are luxurious to say the least. Songket is often a production of a whole village as the technique is passed down generations to generations.

My idea consists of mixing mythology to the modern world of Indonesia through means of batik and set this idea in postcard design

So each postcard, say around 3-5 will have a batik style illustration with the mythological creatures in them but set in a modern setting

Is this too wild? probably. Will have to do more research on batik to see if this is a good idea

REALLY BIG ROOF
Mostly made of straw
You can really tell they use their surroundings well
Pretty sure this isn't a house but they use this building as a cooling off space to hide from the tropical heat

I have no idea why we're so obsessed with roofs, might have to research on that

Riau gets 2 because HOMETOWN YEA
Also, they elevate their houses off the ground because back before modernisation, this was a tactic to make sure wild animals do not come up the house and just wonders through the bottom half
It also prevents heat or cold attacks from the enviroment
