The #OlahCorak2024 Final Competition and Mini Exhibition was a celebration of creativity, culture, and innovation, bringing together some of the brightest talents in Malaysia’s design and craft community. Held in July, the event marked the culmination of the Corak Malaysia initiative, showcasing the final motifs created through the competition, each representing a fusion of tradition and modern artistic vision.

The exhibition offered a unique opportunity for attendees to explore a diverse range of motifs, each one inspired by Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage. From intricate batik patterns to modern reinterpretations of traditional designs, the works on display exemplified the creative possibilities that emerge when artists and artisans are given the space to experiment and innovate.

The competition’s finalists presented their designs in front of a panel of esteemed judges, including industry experts and leaders from the Corak Malaysia project. The judges evaluated each entry based on originality, craftsmanship, and the creative use of traditional motifs in new contexts. 

Visitors to the mini exhibition also had the chance to engage with the motifs up close, learning about the stories, techniques, and cultural significance behind each design. The event fostered conversations on the importance of preserving Malaysia’s artistic heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern design.

The #OlahCorak2024 Final Competition and Mini Exhibition not only highlighted the talent of its participants but also reinforced the significance of traditional motifs in contemporary creative industries. As part of Corak Malaysia’s broader mission, the event served as a reminder of the power of collaboration, creativity, and cultural pride in shaping the future of Malaysia’s artistic identity.
