TENUNAN: A View on Tapestry of Historical Processes

September 18 - October 16

Free

TENUNAN: A View on Tapestry of Historical Processes explores Kain Tenunan, or Songket, as a metaphor to explore the intricacies of historical developments. Known for its intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance, Songket mirrors the complexity of weaving historical narratives.

Curated by Bruneian veteran artist Osman Mohammad, this exhibition draws parallels between the art of Songket weaving and the fabric of history. Each thread in Songket represents different societal elements—social movements, economic changes, and cultural shifts — interwoven to create a comprehensive tapestry of human experience. Just as weavers design patterns in Songket, historical events form patterns that reflect societal dynamics, trends, and transformations.

Featuring works by Bruneian artists Yasmin Jaidin, Faizal Hamdan, and Armacester Arsad, TENUNAN invites viewers to appreciate the interconnectedness of historical moments, highlighting the skill and vision needed to navigate and shape pivotal events. It underscores the importance of preserving our collective legacy and understanding the complex interactions that shape our history.

Join us for a curator’s tour and artist talk on 21 Sept at 2:30pm – registration required.

TENUNAN is part of The Idea of North — a 4-day festival commemorating the 40th anniversary of bilateral relations between Brunei and Singapore.
