Ikat from Timor and its outer Islands
Insular and Interwoven
2022 || Hardcover || Peter ten Hoopen || Sidestone Press Dissertations
This is the first study to focus on ikat of the Timor region from a technical perspective, including microscopy and design analysis of asymmetry, an understudied subject. Paradoxically this technical perspective highlights the human factor. Focused on the last century of the colonial period, we see the weaver’s decisions in close-up, as if we are sitting next to her. This yields rich insights, not just in materiality, but also in the weavers’ creativity.
Asymmetry is widely distributed in...

Ci, Gender and Social Change among the Asmat of Papua, Indonesia
Paperback || Onesius Otenieli Daeli || Sidestone Press
Ci is the Asmat word for dugout canoe. The ci is an integral part of the everyday life of the Asmat - an ethnic group residing in eastern Indonesia in Papua province (formerly Irian Jaya) - who live in the middle of a huge tidal swampy area. Owning a ci is part of the Asmat's habitus because ci is a guarantee for mobility, both individually and collectively. The ci is essential for the everyday lives of the Asmat. However, the existence of these dugout canoes is now critical as they tend to b...

Alongside the works themselves are rich archives of documents, drawings by early travellers, and often vast photographic collections, as...
