Event: INACRAFT 2016

Picture
We just celebrate our cultural heritage at the biggest annual handicraft exhibition, INACRAFT 2016, where the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) sell their local product from traditional until the most innovative one. The exhibition was held at Jakarta Convention Center from April 20th until 24th. INACRAFT is an annual event that much awaited by people who loves our local product, foreigners who simply just looking for some souvenirs or to do direct business with the SME. Because it is an opportunity where you got to see products from all over Indonesia. And every year they have a theme of one province that get to be the star and got the center stage to promote their culture. This year, they promoted the Minangkabau ethnic of West Sumatera. So they put the big pointy roof traditional house of Minangkabau in the main lobby facing the entrance to welcoming the visitors. Everyday they had traditional dance or performance scheduled, in order to introduce our culture to the visitors.

The golden and silver thread that is intricately woven justify Sumatera as the Golden Island or we may know as Swarnabhumi or Swarnadwipa. A heritage from the kingdom of Sriwijaya shows from the splendor of Songket.
PANDAI SIKEK
Pandai Sikek is an area in West Sumatera where it is well-known as the place of the weaver. And has been appreciated by the government in the picture of our five thousand rupiah bill. A woven songket of Pandai Sikek is a work of art and has unique character and subtlety in its motifs. Gold thread made of metal is the main material in forming the motifs on the fabric.
Songket in Sumatra is generally associated as one of the cultural heritage from the golden age of Sriwijaya kingdom. Therefore, in the past songket was associated as a symbol of luxury, social status, and the wearer’s dignity. According to historical records, weaving songket in the past was using real gold thread. This makes songket is not only high value in terms of aesthetics, but also in intrinsic value.
And other beautiful things from other provinces all over Indonesia...

It is always fun to shop in an event like this. You can find a lot of unique product with fine quality from all over Indonesia plus you are helping the local SME and their village. I must say, I'm quite happy with Inacraft this year, they made a lot of progress than last year. Most of the booths were equipped with credit card machine and the SMEs were already put attention for quality on their product. So, I found a lot of high quality goods. Makes me even more proud to wear our local product. -SK-
