Fancy taking a look at one of Malaysia’s cultural heritage of the Batik (wax-dyed cloth), then check out the Kuala Lumpur International Batik Convention and Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, as featured in Time-Out KL.

The theme of the Convention, “The Business of Batik”, is intentionally wide, allowing for participation from anyone related to the batik craft and industry including the wider areas of textiles and textile production, fashion and marketing, new technology, new trends in textile decoration, new applications as well as batik art history and craft & heritage preservation.

Look forward to the ‘The Business of Batik’ Convention (Dec 11-12) that will bring speakers and experts from around the world to KL to share their knowledge and expertise. There will also be Piala Seri Endon batik design competition which will provide a platform for Malaysia’s batik making talents to show their stuff. The Grand Finale will be held on Dec 13.

For a taste of how the convention and exhibition would be like for newcomers, here’s a video of the past convention and exhibition at the KL Convention Centre:

Also, look out for the Batik Exhibition (Dec 11-13), the first of its type focusing on the Batik industry in this region and the world.
