The Godown arts centre in Kuala Lumpur is sharing a bit of rustic Borneo with the urban masses through its current exhibition Bakul: Everyday Baskets From Sabah, featuring 70 traditional baskets from across Malaysia’s second largest region.

These baskets are from the collection of Sabahan author, curator and collector Jennifer P. Linggi, as depicted in her illustrated book, A Journal Of North Borneo’s Traditional Baskets, with its first edition published in 2017.
