Qadjai

Austronesian Artistic Exchange Project:

Experience the cultural resonance of the Northern Paiwan double pipe mouth flute and nose flute as they travel from Taiwan to Sabah. This artistic exchange brings together the sounds, stories, and traditions of the indigenous peoples of Taiwan and Sabah, offering a rare opportunity for dialogue and collaboration.

Co-curated by Kolektif Seni Budaya Sabah, the event showcases how music, food, crafts, and conversations can bridge the gap between Austronesian cultures and strengthen connections.
