Gelar Batik Nusantara, Batik Bangkit!

Yayasan Batik Indonesia (YBI) proudly hosted their annual big event, Gelar Batik Nusantara (GBN) 2023, at SPARK Senayan Jakarta from 2-6 August 2023. The theme was "Batik, Bangkit!" as an enthusiastic way to advance the country's batik industry after 3 COVID-19 pandemic years, in which YBI wanted to do so by providing illustrations of batik patches on selected decorative icons and regional motifs throughout Indonesia reflecting the beautiful diversity of Batik Nusantara. 

GBN 2023 was opened to the public by the President Joko Widodo as a form of government support for YBI's mission to preserve Indonesian Batik. 250 booths of Indonesian Batik MSMEs and Nusantara culinary were featured. “Kriya Pusaka” awards celebrated Batik MSME players who care about the development of Indonesian Batik. GBN also collaborated with 3 Indonesian interior designers to inspire Indonesians to use Batik as part of home and living interiors. 

Various interesting batik activities were presented, like talk shows, competitions, high tea sessions, fashion shows by 6 Indonesian designers, and charity fundraising through auctioning 2 units of Vespa Batik from Piaggo Indonesia, Indonesian Cancer Foundation and Indramayu Regional Government to empower Indonesian women and cancer sufferers. A 5K Fun Walk and Run closed the event.
