Asean Week will be held in South Korea, November 10 to 13, 2022.

This is an annual cultural event exploring the histories and cultures of the Asean countries Brunei, Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and South Korea and is aimed at promoting economic, social and cultural cooperation among them.

Asean Week was first launched in June 2019. Textiles and fabric products from Asean member states will be on display at the exhibition, along with introductions to their places of origin as travel destinations and stories related to the fabrics.

The fabrics have been created by master artisans using traditional weaving methods that have been passed down through generations. PuaKumbu from Malaysia will feature spiral patterns and intricate hooks which took a year to complete. Lanh My A silk of Vietnam is made by weaving the finest silk threads colored with dyes made from the mac nua fruit. The textile is often used by Vietnamese fashion designer Nguyen Cong Tri, whose designs have been worn by several celebrities including K-pop star Rose of Blackpink, Margot Robbie and Beyonce.

The event aims at enhancing an understanding and awareness of Asean culture and tourism and providing an opportunity to appreciate the uniqueness which derives from diversity.
