Tradition isn't kept in a box. It's practised, out loud.
Tradition isn't kept in a box. It's practised, out loud.
The Tuyang Initiative works with Kayan, Kenyah and other Dayak cultural practitioners to keep Indigenous knowledge alive — on stage, at festival, and in business — led by the communities who hold it.
Three programmes. One question running through all of them: how does traditional knowledge stay relevant without losing its roots? KELUNAN answers it on stage. IXF answers it through exchange. RUANG answers it through enterprise.
