HUE-ICCP
Indonesia International Contribution Project (IICP) is a joint initiative between the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada and Hiroshima University of Economics (HUE) aims to enhance international awareness and demand of the lurik weaving industry.
IICP will be implemented by empowering artisan villages to market and promote lurik with a modern approach. This initiative is anticipated to assist the economy of the respective villages while also safeguarding the tradition of lurik weaving as one of Indonesian cultural identity.
Activities
Product Forming
The initial thread reflects our journey in acknowledging our deep appreciation for Indonesia's cultural diversity. Tenun lurik is more than mere fabric; it embodies our heritage and connects generations. Driven by the great love for this traditional textile, we have embarked on a mission to modernize the use of tenun lurik. Our product forming process breathes life into these narratives, as we collaborate with artisan villages to empower their economic sustainability. Every product is crafted with a blend of history, aspiration, and love.
Campus Visit
In completing the journey of lurik weaving, we welcome our partner, students from Hiroshima University of Economics (HUE) at Universitas Gadjah Mada. Campus visit reaffirms our commitment to promote cultural exchange and honor Indonesia's rich heritage. Together, we delve deeply into the realm of tenun lurik through immersive workshops, direct engagement with artisans, and visits to local weaving communities. Just like how tenun lurik was crafted, we collaborate and build comprehensive understanding in achieving a beautiful pattern of cultural understanding.
Product Selling
Our weaving journey continues as we launch and sell various products that are meticulously crafted by talented artisans. We establish a platform to ensure local weavers receive the recognition and fair compensation they deserve. As tenun lurik starts to be recognized among a broader audience, we expand our market presence by positioning ourselves as a sustainable brand committed to empower local communities. By purchasing our products, fashion is embraced, and the livelihoods of our society are wholeheartedly supported.
