Batik, Beats & Bumbu

Director Claire Pijman

In Batik, Beats & Bumbu, director Claire Pijman explores how young artists of Indonesian descent weave their cultural heritage into modern creative expression. From the innovative batik-inspired fashion of studio Guave and the revival of 70s Indonesian pop by DJ Sekan, to the culinary artistry of Vanja van der Leeden and the vibrant cross-cultural rhythms of Nusantara Beat. This film presents a colorful portrait of identity, exchange, and the process of finding new meaning in one's roots.
