About This
Project

Telusur Rattan Sekida is a documentary project to archive vernacular cultural assets - rattan used by the Bidayuh Jagoi community in Sekida Village, Jagoi Babang, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Sepatokimin Initiative tried to identify this potential that has been commonly used for many generations for their daily household. Being the largest rattan-weaved producer, almost 80% of Sekida village members can do this artistry; however, the scarcity of this resource has been a prominent issue for the past years since the massive palm oil plantations have spread all over the areas.
We believe that archiving and documenting this vernacular material is very important to preserve the cultural diversity of weaving in Sekida. Material scarcity is a threat as indicated by the increasing number of forest clearings that are being converted into oil palm plantations.
