Rumah Rakuji or Rakuji House is a sanctuary for Indonesian cultures, arts, and crafts. Its mission is to promote mostly eco-friendly, variety of crafts made by artisans from Indonesia’s border and remote regions, such as:
  • Woven Crafts from the remote Badui Tribe in West Java.
  • Traditional fibres ‘Ulap Doyo”, handwoven by the Dayak Benuaq Tribe in East Kalimantan.
  • Traditional Plaited ‘Bemban’ Craft, renowned as The Plaited Art of Kings due to its exquisiteness, made by The Dayak Iban Tribe in West Kalimantan.
 
Myra Widiono, the co-founder of Rumah Rakuji, is a climate leader who joined the climate reality leadership corps training in Denver in 2017.
 
Myra presented the works of Rumah Rakuji and showed climate leaders a number of beautiful and traditional arts and crafts from around Indonesia. A discussion followed on a movement that creates natural dyes from abundant natural resources and trains local women artisans how to make and use natural dyes in their works.
