This journal aspires to serve as a distinguished platform for the study and celebration of Betawi culture, offering readers a gateway into the historical memory and lived traditions of the Betawi people. By revisiting the cultural landscapes of earlier eras, it seeks not merely to preserve the past but to reanimate it, allowing contemporary audiences to encounter the richness of Betawi heritage in all its complexity. The present volume brings together a curated selection of essays that collectively illuminate the multifaceted identity of Jakarta and its Betawi roots. Among its highlights are reflections on the anniversary of Jakarta, an exploration of the enduring legacy of Ali Sadikin—often regarded as the symbolic “son” of the city—and narratives of legends that have emerged from diverse Betawi villages. Further contributions examine the role of Betawi journalists and other cultural figures, weaving together stories that underscore the dynamic interplay between history, memory, and identity. In presenting these essays, the journal endeavors to foster deeper appreciation of Betawi traditions while situating them within broader discourses of urban history, cultural resilience, and collective identity. It is hoped that this volume will not only enrich scholarly engagement with Betawi heritage but also inspire renewed recognition of its significance in shaping Jakarta’s evolving cultural tapestry.

The textile tradition known as kain Cual, historically designated as Limar Muntok, originates from Muntok in Bangka Island, Indonesia. As the emblematic fabric of the Bangka Belitung (BABEL) province, Cual represents a syncretic weaving practice that integrates songket—a supplementary weft brocade technique characteristic of Palembang—with limar, an ikat method involving resist-binding of weft threads prior to dyeing. This study examines the historical trajectory of Cual, emphasizing its revival during the early 1990s and subsequent development as a cultural artifact. The analysis highlights the pivotal role of Mazlina Yasid and her family in sustaining and advancing the production of Cual, thereby ensuring the continuity of this distinctive textile heritage within the Indonesian Archipelago. The findings underscore the significance of Cual as both a material expression of regional identity and a dynamic site of cultural preservation and innovation.
