JEDDAH 12 June 2022 — Consulate personnel and members of the Philippine community in Jeddah witnessed the opening and ribbon cutting ceremony of the Inaul and Beadworks Exhibit, alongside Philippine Consulate General in Jeddah’s celebrations for the 124^th anniversary of Philippine independence.

The Inaul exhibit features the works of select fashion designers such as Jace Domingo, Pablo Nesperos, Hyacinth Sersena de Leon, Vacilin Urmatan, and Ludgina Baterzal Belo. Their works are vibrant, sophisticated and modern coutures that make use of the inaul, a colorful Maguindanao fabric. The above designers were recently featured at the Inaul First Philippine Fashion Week, organized by the Philippine Cultural Arts and Design Ensemble, KSA (PCADESA).

On the other hand, the beadworks exhibit titled “Ching Cinder Lim: An Adventure with Paint, Beads, and Crystals” features the works of artist Ms. Cinder Lim, a graduate of Mindanao State University and the Cora Dolorosa Career Center in Cebu. Her works are explorations of the various details and intricate patterns and lines, with exploration on the artistic use of colored glass beads such as Swarovski and Asfour.

The exhibit, which will run for the whole month of June, aims to promote the tangible cultural heritage of the Philippines through the intricate and colorful Maguindanao fabric known as inaul, while showcasing Filipino talents in fashion and the arts. END
