Kuching Day 11

KUCHING DAY 11

Woke up and put the curtains away to see the fantastic view of Sarawak and the beautiful walk along the river. We had really ended up in something totally different, a clean green big city, in a room with a view, bathrobe, iron, desk and a luxury bathroom. And for breakfast I could have both yoghurt and cheese, so good for my stomach and my mind. We had our lecture today, as number two of the conference. Quite challenging to speak about art and technology for an audience mostly familiar with craft but we did it our way and though it was quite a new subject it somehow changed the mind of natural colour could be. We had lunch together with Jenny and Lina (from Sweden!) and the we went to a shibori workshop. In the night we went to the opening of a new exhibition of Sumba Ikat. Afterwards the organiser served a buffet with a variety of different Asian and Indian food. It was a relief to end the night in the air conditioned room at Hilton and finally go to bed after a long day.
