The Borneo Hub is a gallery project that aimed to promote the culture of Sarawak indigenous groups. As urbanization kicks in, most of the indigenous groups' cultures had lost its inheritance due to the fast-growing modern world and the current generation disregard towards it. It is such a big loss to Sarawak where these cultures nearly forgotten and some cannot be revive anymore.
The concept of this project is bonding, to revive the bonding between the past, present and future through the arts and cultures passed down by ancestors. Weaving movement of Pua Kumbu showcase a strong bonding in between master weavers and their Gods given the dreams. Each of the linear and angle form forms a connection that represent messages or story convey through the pua kumbu that are people the legendary story. With the linear and angle form that is derived by weaving movement, it helps to bring out the strong bonding.
