Translation and Translocation: Javanese Batik in Europe and Africa
Translation and Translocation: Javanese Batik in Europe and Africa.
SPEAKER: Maria Wronska-Friend
Maria Wronska-Friend (Senior Research Fellow, James Cook University, Queensland, Australia) presents a fascinating story of how Javanese batik textiles have become, from the end of the nineteenth century, an important source of inspiration for artists, designers and textile producers outside Indonesia, especially in Europe and Africa. In particular, the technique and aesthetics of Javanese batik left a significant impact in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements of the Netherlands. Her research considers how a traditional craft form takes on a different life across two continents, inspiring new textile designs in Africa as well as inspired the works of modernists artists who have never practised batik, such as Henri Matisse, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and Henry van de Velde.
Part of the Trade, Ties, and Transformation symposium held on May 14 2016 at ILHAM Gallery.
