🎌The Banton Cloth and Island Pride

Banton Island is home to the Banton Cloth, a 13th-century ritual textile — the oldest surviving woven cloth in Southeast Asia. Banton also practices "tagipusuon": collective responsibility for the island.

For Culture

Asi carries the memory of the Banton Cloth, the sea, and a weaving tradition older than any other in Southeast Asia. Learning it is learning that story from the inside.
