Gathered over the course of four decades, the Thomas Murray collection of Indonesian textiles is one of the most important in the world. The objects comprise ritual clothing and ceremonial cloths that tell us much about the traditions of pre-Islamic Indonesian cultures, as well as the influences of regional trade with China, India, the Arab world, and Europe. As with the earlier volume, Textiles of Japan (Prestel, 2018), the book focuses on some of the finest cloths to come out of the archipelago, presenting each object with impeccable photographs. Geographically arranged, this volume pays particular attention to textiles from the Batak and the Lampung region of Sumatra, the Dayak of Borneo, and the Toraja of Sulawesi, as well as rare textiles from Sumba, Timor and other islands. Readers will learn about the intricate traditions of dyeing, weaving, and beading techniques that have been practiced for centuries. Original texts by international experts offer historical context, unspool the mysteries behind ancient iconography, and provide new insights into dating and provenance. At once opulent and scholarly, this book arrives at a moment of growing interest in Southeast Asian culture and carries the imprimatur of one of the art world's leading collectors.

Artist Research - Timorous Beasties

Relevance

A suggestion from my lecturer was the creators Timorous Beasties, who are well known for their thought provoking works. On first glance they view as an aesthetically pleasing wallpaper, with designs that draw you in and lead your eye around the work. However, when viewed closer it can be seen that the work is not as innocent as it was assumed to be. This is something that I want to mimic within my work, presenting with one idea to then 180* that to something almost the opposite.

About

Timorous Beasties was established in Glasgow in 1990 by Alistair McAuley and Paul Simmons. To this day, the studio is a diverse operation and has emerged as a multi-award-winning, internationally acclaimed icon.

Timorous Beasties’ work showcases diversity of pattern, ranging from design that of the golden age of copperplate engraving (a time-honoured classic is the Thistle range; or Merian Palm superwide wallpaper) to examples of a more edgy nature. Yet, the studio fully engages a design discourse with textile's history by lending an aesthetic evolution to time-honoured motifs.

In 2004 Timorous Beasties unveiled their critically acclaimed Glasgow Toile: by reversing the pastoral context of toiles de Jouy, they transformed the device to create an modern urban vibe. The Hotch Blotch fabric series challenges a 1000-year old aesthetic by placing contrast within the structure of damask pattern to show the  beauty of splatters, drips and blotches. Hunting Toile and Urban wallpapers mark a combination of 18th-century Chinoiserie groupings, Rococo swirls and Victorian silhouette paper cuts to create a contemporary ornamental textiles pattern.

The art critic John Ruskin related a universal connection between nature, art and society. Timorous Beasties share a similar world view, where plants, animals and society are visually inseparable. They are devoted to how that impacts as pattern design in our daily experience of furnished spaces, from one-bedroom flats to country villas, to the halls of civic and government buildings, departure lounge backdrops, boutique enclaves, restaurants, and hotels.

Culture of East Timor

The culture of East Timor reflects numerous cultural influences, including Portuguese, Roman Catholic, and Malay, on the indigenous Austronesian cultures in East Timor.

People & Culture

Society

Princess Anne accompanied by her husband Rear Admiral Tim Laurence, shakes hands with East Timor Social Workers in Dili, Indonesia, on 27 September 2005.

Timorese are incredibly hospitable, gregarious and some of the friendliest you’ll ever encounter. Celebrations held at national and community levels are many and vibrant. Timorese society is also conservative and traditional with a strong focus on family, the community and religion.

Population

A crowd waving national flags in Dili after East Timor gained its independence, May 20, 2002.

With a population of around 1.3 million, Timorese are linked closely. At the same time the country’s identitiy is composed of many indigenous groups, each with its own language and cultural practices. Tetun is the largest of these accounting for approximately 25% of the population. They live around Dili, Suai and Viqueque. Mambae make up a further 10% and are found in the central mountains. Other groups include the Kemak, Bunak and Fataluku amongst others, each accounting for 5% or less.

Language

Campaigning for reading in Timor-Leste.

 The Portuguese School of Díli

Timor-Leste (East Timor) has many spoken languages reflecting past migration, colonialism and other occupation. Tetun and Portuguese languages have been given official status, with Indonesian and English considered working languages. Another fifteen or more indigenous languages also are spoken.

Settlement

Dili- Capital

Timorese mostly reside in small towns and remote villages

The capital of Dili is a modern developing city offering a wide range of services and amenities for residents and visitors. While many Timorese are drawn to the capital seeking employment, 70% still live in rural areas. These Timorese mostly reside in small towns and remote villages and practice a subsistence fishing and farming lifestyle.

Religion

Igreja da Imaculada Conceição church, in Viqueque

Cristo Rei Dili Timor Leste

Around 90% of Timorese identify as Roman Catholic and the remainder mostly as Protestant, Muslim and Hindu. In spite of this, animism continues to be a persuasive force in most peoples’ everyday lives. Observing the way animist and religious beliefs are seamlessly blended is one of the interesting aspects of holidaying in this country.

Culture

Timorese cultural heritage is multi-layered – a fascinating combination of traditional Timorese, Portuguese, Chinese and Indonesian influences. This permeates their local architecture, cuisine, clothing styles and artistic endeavors.

Timorese culture continues to evolve in local arts and handicrafts, as well as in dance and music. Cultural motifs, both old and modern, are incorporated into the design of tais – hand-woven textiles, basket work and wood carving.

Traditional Timorese dancers

Cultural groups still perform traditional dances and songs and also are entertaining in new ways. Talented Timorese bands and dance groups perform in local venues and at festivals.

Architecture

There is a fair amount of architectural variety in Timor-Leste (East Timor), since each ethnic group have their own traditions and customs. However, nearly all architecture has been constructed of wood so few buildings have lasted to the present and much of what stands today is from the past century other than a few structures.

Sacred house (lee teinu) in Lospalos

Early, and still the most traditional, architecture in Timor-Leste is the totem house. Examples of these constructions are found all across the country but vary from one region and ethnic background to another. Uma lulik also mean spirit houses because they hold the spirits of ancestors of the family that owns it. There were rebuilt every ten years to help renew the community’s connection to its forebears and its land.

Also, there are few Portuguese-styled buildings in Timor-Leste, coming from the Portuguese legacy. Most of these buildings in this style are churches or buildings in the capital of Dili. Following on Portuguese tradition of building from stone, concrete, and other more solid substances, today the country has a fair amount of modern buildings made primarily from concrete and glass.

Sport

National sports of East Timor (Timor-Leste) is Football.

Timorese participate in a wide range of sports, including football which they are extremely passionate about.

East Timor has taken part in multiple international sporting events., such as the 2003 Southeast Asian Games held in Vietnam in 2003. In the 2003 ASEAN Paralympics Games, also held in Vietnam, East Timor won a bronze medal. In the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, six athletes participated in three sports: athletics, weightlifting and boxing). East Timor won three medals in Arnis at the 2005 Southeast Asian Games. East Timor was one of the competing nations in the first Lusophony Games, winning a bronze medal in the women’s volleyball competition. On 30 October 2008, East Timor earned their first international points in a FIFA match with a 2–2 draw against Cambodia.

Exploring Atauro: A Hidden Gem

When I first set foot on the breathtaking island of Atauro, located in the captivating country of Timor-Leste, I felt an overwhelming sense of excitement and curiosity.This hidden gem offers a unique blend of untouched natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and a sense of adventure that is truly unparalleled. As a passionate traveler and adventurer, I knew I had stumbled upon a place that would forever leave its mark on my soul.

Getting there and the Best Time to Visit:

Atauro is nestled in the crystal-clear waters of the Timor Sea, just a short boat ride away from Dili, the capital of Timor-Leste. Launching from Dili, the boat ride gives you a chance to marvel at the deep blue of the Timor Sea, with Atauro Island slowly growing larger on the horizon. The island enjoys a tropical climate, with warm temperatures throughout the year. The best time to visit is during the dry season, which typically spans from May to October. This period offers sunny days, calm seas, and optimal conditions for exploring the island's underwater wonders. However, the wet season (November to April) brings lush greenery, dramatic waterfalls, and the opportunity to witness the raw power of nature.

Where to Stay:

Accommodation options in Atauro range from rustic beachside bungalows to eco-friendly resorts. For a truly immersive experience, I highly recommend staying at one of the local guesthouses or homestays. These establishments provide an authentic glimpse into the island's culture and traditions, while also offering comfortable and welcoming accommodations.

What to Do:

Atauro is a haven for thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts. There's plenty to do, both underwater and on land. Let me take you through some options: - Diving: The waters surrounding the island are teeming with vibrant coral reefs, an abundance of marine life, and awe-inspiring underwater drop-offs. Explore the depths of the ocean, swim alongside majestic sea turtles, and discover the hidden treasures that lie beneath the surface. - Hiking: There's an array of hiking trails that lead to panoramic viewpoints, secluded beaches, and charming villages. Strap on your hiking boots and immerse yourself in the island's rugged beauty as you traverse through lush forests, encounter exotic bird species, and breathe in the invigorating mountain air.

Where to Eat:

One of the highlights of my Atauro journey was indulging in the local cuisine. The island's coastal location means that seafood takes center stage in many dishes. Don't forget to try the traditional dish of ikan saboko, a mouthwatering grilled fish served with rice and vegetables.

Sights and Tours:

Immerse yourself in Atauro's rich cultural heritage by visiting traditional villages where locals warmly welcome visitors with open arms. Engage in conversations with the island's friendly inhabitants, learn about their traditional way of life, and gain insights into their deep-rooted beliefs and customs. For a truly unforgettable experience, embark on a dolphin and whale-watching tour. The sight of these magnificent creatures is sure to leave an indelible mark on your heart.

Nightlife and Shopping:

While Atauro is not known for its vibrant nightlife, you can still enjoy peaceful evenings by the beach, stargazing, and listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean. When it comes to shopping, Atauro offers an array of unique handcrafted souvenirs, including intricately woven textiles, artisanal pottery, and traditional wood carvings. Bring home a piece of Atauro's rich cultural heritage as a cherished memento of your unforgettable journey.

Your Atauro adventure awaits!

So, fellow adventurers, if you yearn for a travel experience that goes beyond the ordinary, pack your bags, set your sights on Atauro, and allow this captivating island to awaken your sense of wonder, ignite your spirit of exploration, and leave you forever changed. Read the full article

South East Asia TIC Market Drivers

Rising Demand Towards Food Testing or Inspection due to Increasing Import/Export activities, Agricultural or Food Contamination, Food Safety Violation and Others is Surging the Demand for Testing, Inspection & Certification Services:

The increasing demand towards food testing owing to rising import/export activities, agricultural or food contamination, food safety violation and others is one of the major growth drivers boosting the adoption rate of testing, inspection & certification services in South East Asia. Food industry is considered as a highly regulated industry due to stringent regulatory compliance ensuring food quality assurance and safety for the consumers. The levels of product recalls owing to the presence of harmful ingredients or contamination or the undeclared presence of an allergen or not an approved additives are rising within the Southeast Asian nations. Moreover, the levels of agricultural trade (both export and import) are successively increasing owing to the population boost in various countries under scope, which will support the growth of the TIC market. As per World Bank 2021, the population of Philippines grew by 1.3% in the period of 2019-20. According to International Trade Administration July 2022 update, agricultural imports in Indonesia reached over $24 billion in 2021, owing to high demand for rice, wheat, soybeans, fresh fruits, dairy beef and various feed ingredients. The following marks an increase by $5 billion or 26% from 2020 import values. Furthermore, nearly 57.8% of the total import value regarding the agricultural products in the Indonesia market was dominated by five suppliers including China, Australia, U.S, Brazil as well as India. Such increase in imports can boost the adoption of food testing services which in turn can influence the market growth.

The Safety Regulations and Standards imposed by Global as well as regional government bodies for the enhancement of medical device safety measure is accelerating the growth of South East Asia TIC Market:

A major driver in the South East Asia TIC market is the implementation of stringent regulatory requirements across various industries. Governments in the region are increasingly adopting and enforcing rigorous standards to protect consumer safety, ensure product quality, and safeguard the environment. This regulatory landscape compels companies to adhere to strict testing, inspection, and certification protocols to gain market access and maintain competitiveness. The pharmaceutical and food industries, in particular, face heightened scrutiny, necessitating comprehensive TIC services to comply with health and safety standards. The automotive and electronics sectors also require extensive TIC processes to meet international export standards. The continuous update and tightening of regulations drive the demand for specialized and advanced TIC services, fostering market growth as companies strive to align with evolving compliance requirements.

The rising safety regulations and standards imposed by global as well as regional government bodies for the enhancement of medical device safety measure is creating demand for the TIC services which in turn triggers the growth of this market. The demand for Class III medical devices such as High-frequency ventilators, blood sampling monitors, oxygen supply units and so on have been growing overtime majorly amidst the pandemic as these devices are used to maintain or protect human life. Since these devices require licensed FDA approvals before distribution across countries, the market growth of TIC services is impacted significantly. Medical device testing is critical to the entire medical device development lifecycle to ensure the safety of patients and device users. In January 2021 the Philippines Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued circular n° 2021-001 on the product standards to which Medical Devices must comply for notification or registration. The circular was issued so that local Manufacturers, Importers and/or Distributors must comply to obtain a certificate of Medical Device notification (CMDN) or a certificate of Medical Device registration (CMDR). In August 2021, FDA had released a list of Class-A 1242 product categories in its circular 2021-017, in order to support and clarify regulatory requirements for medical manufacturers looking for market access within Philippines. Under this, medical device manufacturers of Class A products specified under the ASEAN MDD, need to mandatorily obtain a Certificate of Medical Device Notification, (CMDN), before manufacturing, distribution, importing, selling, or advertising the medical devices within the country. Thus, rise in regulations and standards can boost the demand of testing, inspection & certification services among the medical device manufacturers.

South East Asia TIC Market Challenges 

Lower Level of Digital Adoption by the Key Players coupled with the Continued Impact of Bottlenecks in Trade Flows across South East Asia region owing to Shortage of Cargo Container are Limiting the Market Growth:

Low level of digital adoption coupled with continued impact of bottlenecks in trade flows acts as a major challenge restraining the market growth of TIC market in South East Asia. According to Rothchild & Co report published in May 2021, the testing-inspection-certification digital maturity substantially lags behind the other various end-user industries which shall pose problems in the long-run. Some of the common industries against which the TIC lacked under digital technology is energy, financial institutions, industrial goods, insurance, and telecommunications. Additionally, Shortage of shipping cargos, shipment cancellations, growing freight rates along with many others have emerged as some of the prime factors adversely impacting domestic manufacturing operations across various Southeast Asian countries owing to dependency on raw material imports within the country. According to Westports Holdings Berhad report, Malaysia faces a container throughput slipping 1% year on year to 10.4 million TEUs (20ft equivalent units) in 2021. Container throughput at Westports was down 10% y-o-y in 1Q2022, reaching 2.39 million TEUs versus 2.66 million TEUs handled in 1Q2021 which leads to supply chain disruption. These factors are limiting the demand for South East Asia TIC which in turn hampers the market growth.

hi! :)

I saw you have an interest in south asia and textiles and if you don't mind, Im on the look out for indonesian fashion books/resources that arent weirdly orientalistic (you know the type, look at these Foreign Ways of Doing Things type of things) Will also be super excited about basically any indonesian resources about indonesian culture/history thats not written for tourists or about war and suffering (i know its important, it just makes me so tense) as in Literally Everything will have my interest

hope thats okay to ask!

Have a good week :)

hi!! i don't have a lot of recs right now for indonesian-specific resources (i mostly focus on malaysia but many textile resources have chapters or info about different places around the world) but i've been slowly reading through a book called 'textiles of southeast asia: trade, tradition, and transformation' by robyn maxwell via scribd, it's a massive book thats packed with info on the subject and there's a lot of info about indonesian textiles in it.

another book i love but is difficult to get/find is 'thread and fire: textiles and jewellery from the isles of indonesia and timor' by linda s mcintosh (don't be put off by her name, i think the author is laotian)
