London Craft Week 2023

Malaysia Pavilion at London Craft Week 2023

The Malaysia Pavilion returned to London Craft Week in 2023 with Abstract Nature, an exhibition featuring over 20 traditional Malaysian crafts, presented in dialogue with contemporary design. The programme included live demonstrations by seven master craftsmen, hands-on public workshops and a curated exhibition that highlighted Malaysia’s diverse craft traditions with a focus on indigenous crafts.

The programme was again hosted at the High Commission of Malaysia in Belgravia and designed by Judith Clark Studios and Ryan Clark. The Pavilion was further elevated through accompanying events including private launches, and a closing dinner, creating a vibrant platform for cultural exchange. Through its wide-reaching programme, the Pavilion deepened international appreciation for Malaysia’s craft heritage while reinforcing its positioning within the global cultural landscape.
