Two Islands, One Thread: The Art and Cultures of Lombok & Bali
About this event
Two Islands, One Thread: Textiles of Lombok & Bali explores the remarkable and unique story of the artistic exchanges that occurred between two very different Indonesian societies—Hindu Bali and Muslim Lombok—over the past millennium. The exhibition highlights the diversity of art including the woven, embroidered, painted and tie-dyed textiles created by the Sasak people of Lombok and the Balinese as an expression of their spiritual beliefs, community values and reverence for the ancestors.
The display features previously unseen textiles from the AGSA collection, as well as loans from the West Nusa Tenggara State Museum in Lombok and works of art donated by Michael Abbott AO KC.
