Aep, 50, shaves bamboo for panjat pinang (pole climbing) competitions, which are usually held during Indonesia’s Independence Day celebrations, in Manggarai, Jakarta, on Aug. 13. Pinang bamboo craftsmen have seen a loss in income after the Jakarta administration restricted events that attract crowds amid the surge in COVID-19 cases. While in normal years, a craftsman can sell up to 50 pinang, this year they haven't been able to sell any.
