Preservation of a Rich Cultural Past (Ursular Aznar)

They silently weave fusions of colors and figures into singular pieces of functional art. They painstakingly shape ordinary beads and colored stone into fashionable ornamental pieces. They are the Tiboli weavers with Ms. Ursular Aznar who put together the unique Special Setting on indigenous fabric and weaving located near the Entrance to Annex 1-4, beside the Grand Ballroom.

This exhibit showcases the distinctive tie-dyed techniques of the Tiboli "TINALAK" weaving. This weaving technique presents such individuality in character as it represents the people's practices and beliefs in their religion, society, relationship with nature and the like. In fact, each pattern symbolizes the different facets of man's existence and his interaction with the elements. This exhibit is one of a kind as it primarily highlights the exceptional talents of our tribal communities in the arts of fabric and jewelry making. These age old traditions among indigenous people have long been unrecognized as a rich historical heritage among us Filipinos. It is a sad reality that these are disappearing traditions in the midst of modernization.

Ms. Aznar's exhibit can be seen near the Entrance to Annex 1-4 and she manages the Shambala Center and Tribal Museum in Cansojong, Talisay.

This is the example of ingenuity of a people making Philippine handicraft in which it is crafted by talented Cebuanos. Cebu accessories and
Cebu design trends.
