Cultural consciousness: a case study of dying art on batik block in Malaysia. Environment-Behaviour Proceedings Journal, 6 (SI5). pp. 111-117. ISSN 2398-4287 (2021)
Abstract
Malaysia's traditional batik block is a national treasure. However, it is slowly dying out, especially on the east coast. With globalisation and rapid technological change, batik block production is becoming limited as younger generations lose interest in block making. Few master block makers remain in Malaysia. Cultural awareness of block makers towards the Batik community and society is required. This research paper aims to make the traditional batik block more interesting and stimulating through innovation that does not change the original block state. The art of block making will continue to flourish to preserve Malaysia's traditional culture.
