Contemporary Indonesian Batik with Agus Ismoyo and Nia Filam at Textile Arts Council

You are invited to join us for a special presentation at 9:45 AM by Nia and Ismoyo of examples of their art and a discussion of the philosophy behind the formation of their unique pieces. Brahma Tirta Sari means ‘creativity is the source of all knowledge’ and Nia and Ismoyo describe their work this way:” We seek to read the visual texts of traditional Javanese batiks, which are expressions of the knowledge imbued in batik’s cultural heritage and to express it in a contemporary form”.  

 

These artists, whose work has been widely exhibited internationally as well as in the US, for example at the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., have worked in cooperation with artists from Australia to Africa to create art pieces that speak the stories of the creators. In addition to showing images of the installation art created for special exhibitions, examples of their work will be available for purchase.
