Guest: Xeem Noor, Contemporary Artist, Yante Ismail, Contemporary Artist
Tekat embroidery has been part of Malay cultural heritage for centuries, traditionally associated with royal courts, ceremonial textiles, and generations of artisans who have carefully passed the craft down through matrilineal knowledge and practice. But how does a traditional art form like this continue to evolve and remain relevant today? We speak to artists Xeem Noor and Yante Ismail, who are part of the exhibition Inspired by TEKAT. As contemporary practitioners learning directly from traditional tekat artisans, they’ll be sharing what they’ve discovered about the history of the craft, the process of learning from master artisans, and the possibilities of reimagining tekat for a new generation.
