欧巴马总统的母亲安·邓纳姆生前收藏的20件蜡染艺术品在吉隆坡马来西亚伊斯兰艺术博物馆展出。

欧巴马总统的母亲安·邓纳姆(Ann Dunham)生前是一位文化人类学家,曾在印度尼西亚学习与生活过多年。她在那段时间收集了各种蜡染布,并对这种图案精美的手工制作的布料情有独钟。

图为邓纳姆的女儿马娅·索托罗-吴(Maya Soetoro-Ng)——欧巴马同母异父的妹妹——在吉隆坡(Kuala Lumpur)马来西亚伊斯兰艺术博物馆(Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia)举办的展示她母亲收藏的20件蜡染艺术品的展览开幕式上。马娅对新闻记者说:“对我而言,蜡染艺术会让我想起我母亲对东南亚人民之爱。”

欧巴马为展览开幕式录制了一段视频讲话,回忆了他母亲生前几乎每天都要穿戴蜡染服饰的情景。(他童年时代曾与她一起在印尼生活。)他说,她经常在乡村集市上购买蜡染制品,并且知道“这种布料对制作布料的母亲们和妇女们而言是一种生计”。

“安·邓纳姆收藏的印度尼西亚蜡染艺术品”(Ann Dunham's Legacy: A Collection of Indonesian Batiks )展览于6月8日在马来西亚伊斯兰艺术博物馆开幕,将一直展出到7月20日。这是这批收藏品首次在美国以外展出。

Batik: Obama and Sister Recall Mother’s Love of Southeast Asia

Ann Dunham, the mother of President Obama, was a cultural anthropologist who spent many years studying and working in Indonesia. During that time she collected batiks, the intricately patterned handmade fabrics she loved.

Above is Dunham’s daughter Maya Soetoro-Ng — Obama’s half sister — during the launch of an exhibition of 20 of her mother’s batiks at the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. "For me, batik reminds me of my mother’s love for the people of Southeast Asia,” she told reporters.

For the launch, Obama recorded a video message, recalling that his mother wore batiks almost every day. (He lived with her in Indonesia as a child.) She often bought batiks from village markets and knew that “the textiles meant a livelihood for the mothers and women who made them,“ he said.

Ann Dunham's Legacy: A Collection of Indonesian Batiks opened June 8 and will be on display at the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia to July 20. It is the first time the collection has been shown outside the United States.
