Explore the embroidery techniques ‘sulam’ and ‘tenun’ from Minangkabau. Between space and identity approaches. The series consists of a mixing process where these old techniques are meticulously applied to canvas, creating a fusion of traditional craft and contemporary artistic expression.
‘Sulam‘, a detailed embroidery technique, and ‘tenun‘, a weaving method, are both rooted in Minangkabau culture. These techniques are traditionally used in textiles and carry significant cultural and historical value. In this series, I applied and reimagined these methods, using them to narrate stories of space and identities, particularly focusing on the Minangkabau diaspora and their connection to their homeland.
