Communities come together to craft an impact in Borneo

'Serumpun: Crafts Across Borders' will take place in Kuching, Sarawak, till the end of the month. The collective exhibition features stories that have been pieced together from 11 communities across borders, to show the public how crafts are used as an instrument to maintain identity, drive activism and gain unity.

Though on paper the C&VM project is a year-long effort, discussions and work began even before the pandemic when Professor Dr Lynn-Sayers McHattie, Professor of Design Innovation at The Glasgow School of Art, and Teo began sharing notes, observations and interests about crafts and communities in South-East Asia and the Malay archipelago.

“The exhibition is the culmination of the research work we have done until now. But this project is still evolving so it only captures a cross section of work done at this point in time. The project will go on until February 2023, at which time there will probably be another event,” Teo said, suggesting that their findings may even take the form of a VR exhibition then.will take place in Kuching, Sarawak, till the end of the month.

“We’ve researched connections to culture, such as language, and the practise of weaving dreams into fabric, like pua kumbu. The exhibition is divided into five themes, including the changing landscape, which takes into account scarcity of materials. A lack of biodiversity and accessibility to natural materials like rattan and timber has, for example, provoked craftsmen like Saloman Gau to look at alternative sources of timber for his creation of Jatung Utang, and Manai Jagoi to explore alternative fibres as a replacement material for rattan basketry.
