Indonesia – Global hospitality group Accor has launched the ‘KarnavALL Batik Indonesia’ as a month-long commemoration of National Batik Day. In celebration of Indonesian heritage, Accor will host a series of Batik-inspired activities.
‘KarnavaALL Batik Indonesia’ comprises fashion shows, workshops, and exhibitions that feature local Batik products. Even culinary delights are infused with Batik themes, showcasing the artistry of the Indonesian textile.
One of the highlights of the initiative is local enterprise Tlatah Nusantara’s mini Batik showcase at Mercure Bandung City Centre. It will also include a talk and fashion show, which will also be held at Mercure Samarinda and ibis Samarinda.
Meanwhile, at Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali, guests can learn about the artistry behind Indonesian Batik through a workshop and talk show led by renowned national costume designer Inggi Kendran.
As part of the initiative, guests can also share photos of themselves in Batik through an Instagram challenge for a chance to win prizes.
“We are thrilled to celebrate Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage through the KarnavALL Batik Indonesia initiative. This celebration not only honours the exquisite art of Batik but also connects tradition with contemporary experiences, allowing our guests to engage with Indonesian culture in meaningful ways. We are proud to support local communities and small and medium-sized enterprises, showcasing their craftsmanship while offering unique and memorable experiences to our guests,” Garth Simmons, Accor’s chief operating officer of premium, midscale & economy division in Asia, said.
