lift the tikar!

lift the tikar! presents works by Yee I-Lann made in collaboration with Dusun and Murut weavers from Keningau in inland Sabah and Bajau Sama DiLaut weavers on Pulau Omadal in Semporna on the border of the Sulu and Celebes seas, as well as dancers and film-makers based, like herself, in Kota Kinabalu. The collaborations themselves have been a process of weaving – of different visual languages, art histories, stories, philosophies, economies, geographies – to see what could be found together from this process.
