TIME:10.30 a.m.
VENUE:Galeri Saindera, Level 2
SPEAKER:Hwei-Fe’n Cheah
The talk will delve into the intricacies and
Kamsiah will talk on the textile trade of 15th-16th century that underpinned the importance of Malacca as the centre of the ‘maritime silk route’. The talk will focus on the textiles which Europe so desired, so new to them – satin, taffeta, chintz and shining cloth from India – and cotton so gossamer that ‘a hundred yards of it could pass through the eye of a needle’. This talk is in-conjunction with the publishing of her book Malacca – A Romance.
