Continuing the Journey of Documenting Linangkit Heritage
Today, we continued our journey documenting another remarkable Linangkit tradition of the Dusun Tengara Kujau at Kampung Gapu, Membakut, at Puan Lucianβs Mudim home.
This group of dedicated women is playing an important role in reviving Linangkit among their ethnic community, where the tradition had gradually faded over the years. Their journey was strengthened through the guidance of Puan Juati Lomog, who was specially invited to conduct a workshop for a group of enthusiastic women eager to learn, practise and master the techniques of Linangkit making.
Today, their hard work is beginning to bear fruitful results. More members of the community are appreciating Linangkit, wearing it during social and festive gatherings, and even commissioning these talented women to produce Linangkit pieces, creating opportunities for them to earn additional income through their skills.
What makes this group particularly remarkable is their ability to work with different techniques. Besides traditional Linangkit, cross-stitch, they also practise techniques where the motifs are created directly onto plain fabric using needlework, producing beautiful patterns inspired by traditional Linangkit designs.
Today, these women have made history in their own way. What was once at risk of disappearing is now being revived, appreciated, worn with pride and passed on to a new generation.
Kudos to this inspiring group of women! Your dedication proves that when knowledge is shared and communities take ownership of their heritage, traditions can be revived and given a new life.
May the journey of documenting, preserving and revitalising Linangkit continue from one community to another. This is living heritage in action.
