North Coast Javanese Batik Textiles
A worker hangs a cloth to dry out on the sun beside homes surrounded by rising sea levels at low-lying Jeruk Sari neighborhood in coastal Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia, June 5, 2021. An area in which almost every available space is used for batik production, with a high level of poverty, vulnerable to both rising sea levels and high river peak flows. They hangs and washes at a polluted river for process traditional Javanese textile called Batik. Batik is a traditional Indonesian method of using wax to resist water-based dyes to depict patterns and drawings on fabric. At the heart of the problem is Pekalongan’s overreliance on groundwater, groundwater is also essential to the city’s thriving batik industry. The over-extraction of groundwater has caused the city to sink at a rate of between 10cm to 15cm per year. (Photo by Garry Lotulung/NurPhoto)
