About our PYP Exhibition

For our exhibition we have learned that Cultural Heritage as the roots of our identity needs to be conserved and promoted in many different ways.  So Jasmine, Nima and Alitia have decided to promote their cultural heritage by making this blog.  To conserve her traditional art, Batik Solo, Jasmine will share information about Batik Solo and ways we can make use of it so that people will appreciate Batik more as a national art instead of just a piece of cloth and be proud to have Batik as our cultural heritage.  Nima and Alitia has a similar goal to raise awareness that Debus (Banten) and Wayang Klitik (Central Java) is dying out because those traditional arts are not receiving enough support from government to carry on.  They were not able throughout their exhibition journey to find a single live performance of either Debus or Wayang Klitik.  When interviewing resources about why there are no performances available to public, they always came up with the same answer.  Not enough funding to do so.  Therefore their mission is to get enough signatures for their petition to send to our governement so they see the importance of keeping our cultural heritage alive.
