1 & 2 May 2026

Uncover the maritime stories hidden in batik in this hands-on family workshop! Discover how Southeast Asian batik textiles act as “maritime archives”, with clouds, waves and sea creatures woven into patterns that once guided fishermen, traders and travellers. Conceptualised by batik heritage expert Aqilah Zailan from Studio Gypsied and led by visual artist Cherlyn from Art Away Studio, families will learn to decode these meaningful motifs using specially designed stamps such as Tumbuh (clouds) and Asmara (waves). Follow the Nusantara journey through the collection of stamps and create your own maritime story-cloth to bring home. Through stamping, storytelling and play, discover how batik makers transformed fabric into living records of the sea!
