Before I left Australia, a theatre friend, who often works in Yogya, had some advise for me - “Anna, do not work all the time ‑ go see things!” (unlike him – I suspect!) but this is harder than you might think – with a two week workshop coming up and ideas a’flowing it’s difficult to resist not ducking into this shop to look at those materials or meet with people and talk about life as artists and non-artists here. Irresistibly researching. Connecting compulsively!
So yesterday when my housemate said let’s go to Solo to see the Batik Parade I thought –great an event that’s straight down my street and ticks the tourist box!
So, off to Solo together we went – an hour away on the train. The parade was hectic full of families, batik sellers and many outrageous costumes! Let the photos do the talking…
