A talk by Bernhard and Erika Bart

Bernhard and Erika from Switzerland have their own project to revitalise the art of silk brocade weaving “Songket”. They will talk about their work, research, and the culture in which they live.

Photos of them have been on the front page of the Jakarta Post with the headline “Bernhard Bart and Erika Dubler: Unconditional Love for Songket.”

They are bringing textiles to show us.
