Tangi, which means 'to rise', became the underlying theme of the Bali
and Nusa Tenggara collective event. According to Pandjaitan, many local
cultural products deserve to be presented to the international stage.
The process of creating the crafts by hand with natural materials is
something that deserves high regard. A number of programs enhancing the
local cultural products of the three provinces included tenun ikat (weaving)
competitions, handicraft exhibitions, and traditional culinary
presentations from the three provinces, as well as presentations from
the aforementioned national fashion designers.
Not less attractive were the displays of the various traditional handicrafts together with souvenirs, jewelry
and interior décor that continues to win the favor of national and
international markets. Also presented were the manual processes of
traditional natural dyeing demonstrated by a West Nusa Tenggara local.
