Maria Yovita Meta Bastian

For the past 30 years, Maria Yovita Meta Bastian has been concerned that the tradition of weaving that has lasted hundreds of years in North Timor Tengah, East Nusa Tenggara, will gradually fade. This worry prompted her to introduce the tradition back in schools and villages. Eventually, North Timor Tengah’s weaving survived the challenges of the times.

Maria Yovita Meta Bastian was interviewed in Kefamenanu, North Timor Tengah on Saturday (8/6/2019). She was busy arranging a number of Biboki-styled wastra (traditional fabric) stored in her special room and outlet.
