Selected Artisans
TEXTILE – HANDWOVEN
Handwoven textiles are narratives, woven and decorated by these thoughts and emotions that flow through each yarn, weft and warp, colors and patterns, carefully crafted with sincere love, care and creativity. Here we share the stories of talented crafters of traditional and contemporary textiles.
Every piece of art has a story to tell, and in light of our theme of “Resurgence” this year, we bring together stories of sustainable art practices using eco-friendly materials to create one-of-a-kind objects of art.
Renny Manurung
Renny Manurung from Indonesia has been weaving since 17 years ago when she was in junior high school. She is active in fostering 65 artisans at Dame Ulos, a brand that focuses on weaving Batak fabric with traditional looms and also focuses on reviving old motifs. Renny Manurung and Dame Ulos received recognition and appreciation from the government as influential women in Batak culture at the W20 event last July.
