Behind the Seams: Wax & Stitch Workshop

How the idea started

At Kontinentalist, most people know us because of our stories, but we’ve always been interested in making data more approachable and relatable to people’s daily lives.
So it was serendipitous when we met Hafiz Rashid, an experienced museum docent and self-proclaimed “Nusantara otaku” at our New Year’s Dinner Party at the start of 2024. We started excitedly talking to Hafiz, whose research interests include textiles, indulging in some mutual fangirling, and eventually spoke about our sarong story.
