KUALA LUMPUR: Yayasan Tenun Pahang Diraja, the foundation set up to preserve the art of making Royal Pahang woven fabric, will be hosting the 8th Asean Traditional Textiles Symposium 2022, scheduled to be held from Sept 25 to 30 in Putrajaya.
Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah said the symposium would bring together textile artists, artisans and weavers from across Malaysia, Asean and other regions to share information on the uniqueness of their textiles.
"We also want to show what our government has been doing in protecting the textile crafts even though we don’t have too many designs compared to other countries. We want to show what our government has done to make sure that these things do not die,” Her Majesty told a press conference at Istana Negara on Friday .
Her Majesty said various exquisite collections would be showcased at the symposium, including her own tenun collection, pieces woven by prisoners, and the personal collection of cultural figure, the late Sharifah Azah Mohamed Alsagoff, better known as Azah Aziz. The foundation was established to develop Tenun Pahang Diraja as a heritage craft industry capable of improving the living standards of the people by creating job opportunities for artists, artisans and weavers.
