アイキャッチ画像:Academic Exchange Program by Past Laureate of Fukuoka Prize ”The Naga motif in Lao weaving textiles.”

The “Naga” motif—depicting a mythical serpent deity—has long appeared in traditional Lao textiles, and in 2023 it was inscribed on UNESCO’ s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. In this lecture, a speaker who has been deeply involved in the promotion of Lao textile culture over many years will explore the meaning and cultural background of the Naga, while tracing the path that led to this international recognition. What might this motif, woven by Lao women from past to future, be telling us today?
