Efforts to promote and preserve Indonesian traditional textiles have been highlighted through regional showcases and strategic cultural initiatives.

In South Kalimantan, the inaugural Indonesia Fashion & Aesthetics (IFA) Archipelago event was held in Banjarbaru to connect fashion professionals with regional talent. The event focused on promoting Sasirangan, a traditional fabric, by integrating it with modern fashion trends through collections by local and national designers.

In Bali, initiatives are underway to transition Balinese textiles, known as Wastra Bali, into the global creative economy. This involves the ‘Satu Jiwa, Tiga Rupa’ (One Soul, Three Forms) concept, which emphasizes the spiritual identity and philosophy of textile motifs. Complementing these regional efforts, the Museum Tekstil in Jakarta hosted the ‘Menjaga Warisan untuk Masa Depan’ (Preserving Heritage for the Future) exhibition to educate the public on Nusantara fabrics and weaving traditions.
