Weaving For Living
The Baduy community in Banten is an utterly unique and closed society, which can be reached via a 10 km village road from either Cibolegar or Cibungur village in Leuwidamar district. The 50 km road from Rangkasbitung is steep. In April and May, the Baduy community is closed to outsiders, as during this time it commemorates certain ceremonies, called Seba, the offering of part of their agricultural products to the Head of the District, Sub-Regent and the Chief Resident. During this ceremony the "Puun of Baduy" sends out a group of representatives of Baduy Dalam people as well as Baduy Luar to act as the community's spokesmen. When conducting this Seba ceremony the Baduy Dalam members refuse to ride any vehicle, instead, the distance of150 km is traveled on foot as proof of their perseverance.

Photographer Nico Fredia (featured on this site) shot this very woman in the same spot doing the same thing over a year ago. Yet another photographer on this site (Andre Arment) took a picture of another woman from this very same village two years ago (They also have near carbon-copy images of a martial arts performance in this same area). I just started viewing photos here and was a bit surprised to find so much of the same thing so quickly. It would hardly seem like a closed society and the uniqueness is beginning to fall a little flat. Sorry, just my opinion though maybe I need to be enlightened, thanks.
Ario Wibisono  Dear Mark, actually we went (I, Andre Arment and Nico Fredia) together to this village last year (2010).
It was raining very hard at that time and we stopped by to her house while she was weaving, that's why we took her picture together. But only Nico and me who took this picture with our own camera. I used 5DmarkII and Nico used his own camera, a Canon 400D, if I am not mistaken.

After our trip, there are several (or many) photographer visit this village. This village is very unique, that's why a lot of tourist come to this village. There is no electricity until now, because they are not allowed to use electricity. You can search the history of this village in google : just type Baduy.

Thank you very much for your attention and critics, I really appreciate that.
