For the past few years, Yee I-Lann has been creating woven mats with weavers from Keningau in the Borneo interior and Pulau Omadal, Semporna, in the Sulu Sea. The Sabahan artist's latest body of work, TIKAR/MEJA (2018-2019), features over sixty woven mats that blend contemporary art and traditional crafts. Through their collaborations, Yee and the communities she worked with explore traditional crafts and aesthetics to tease out contemporary readings that also raise issues regarding community, empowerment, and alternative sustainable livelihoods.
Yee I-Lann's mats are now being shown in MMCA's 2020 Asia Project, Looking for Another Family. Bringing together fifteen artists from across Asia, this project seeks to suggest alternatives to the traditional ideas of economic or technological efficiency by exploring new concepts of 'family'. By expanding the meaning of 'family', we explore the notion of 'another family', with whom we can share emotions and potentially find solutions to the urgent issues we are facing. During this time of global uncertainty, the world seems vulnerable to the dangers of isolation and conflict. Looking for Another Family suggests that these threats have always been there, invisible but active, and encourages us to look at them in a more explicit manner.
