Marcos Kueh

Marcos Kueh (1995) has a background in graphic design and advertising, and a journey through Borneo to document traditional weaving methods started his fascination for understanding his native visual languages, as well as developing a strong attraction to their material properties. Before the arrival of painting tools, the natives of Borneo encapsulated their myths and stories in their textiles. Kueh’s practice is a speculation of what this act of myth weaving would look like in the contemporary – what stories do we take the time to encapsulate and why? In turn, Kueh hopes to empower other South-East Asians to reevaluate the meaning and power behind their identities.
