TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Dozens of finalists of the 2014 Miss Cendrawasih University in Jayapura have concluded their training session on how to make the Indonesian traditional clothing of batik.

The finalists were trained by Jimmy Afarr, the owner of batik numbay [Jayapura].  Jimmy told Antara in Jayapura on Thursday that “the training has just ended.”

According to him, the training sought to give the necessary knowledge of batik to the finalists and would-be models.  “Especially for Papuans, so they don’t just wear Papuan batiks but also know the philosophy of the painting on the dress,” he said.

Jimmy said a model must also know how to make batik instead of just wearing them. He hoped the finalists could now make batik after the training.

Miss Papua 2013 Maria Fransiska Tambingon, meanwhile, said the young generation of Papua must preserve the existing Papuan art and culture, including batik. “The young generation of Papua must learn how to develop Papuan batik and preserve it,” she said.

Delince Gobay, a finalist of the beauty pageant, said he was grateful to have received the knowledge of batik, adding that it was the first batik training session.
