Following on from ENTWINE: Maybank Women Eco-Weavers Meet Southeast Asian Artists organised by the Maybank Foundation and supported by the National Museum of Singapore, New Weave is a collection of cutting-edge animators re-interpreting an ancient Southeast Asian tradition, guest curated by Steve Lawler and presented by Chan + Hori Contemporary.
The Maybank Women Eco-Weavers programme promotes and enhances traditional textiles globally in a sustainable manner, whilst creating economic independence and financial inclusion for women weavers across the ASEAN region. Launched in March 2016, the programme has currently been implemented in Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos, in partnership with local organisations, to provide an ecosystem for the sustained development of weaving crafts within the region.
