About event

The Sarawakiana Carnival is organised once in every two years. It’s main objective is to promote the sustainability of knowledge culture and intellectual discourse, especially on Sarawakiana matters. In 2019, the theme for Sarawakiana Carnival is Sarawak Arts: Sculptures & Carvings (Seni Ukiran dan Arca Sarawak) was chosen to showcase and highlight the uniqueness of sculptures and carvings among the various ethnics in Sarawak. The carnival will be a platform for the community engagement and knowledge sharing through activities and collaboration with smart partners.

The term sculpture can be translated briefly as a three-dimensional artwork or a masterpiece. The old Greek sculpture gives the meaning of carving, punching, cutting and modeling using clay or candles to construct an object in a single or three-dimensional (Gaunt 1966, Ocvirk 1994). In Sarawak, sculpture can be seen ingrained as a way of life and as part of the custom and culture of the various ethnic tribes in Sarawak.

Iban for example is one of the ethnic tribes in Sarawak which is well known for their beautifully crafted arts in sculpture. Amongst them is the engraving of statues that plays a role in protecting their community and keep the Iban community safe. According to Augustine Raoh Mapang (1991) in his study entitled "The Role of Motive Engraving on the Traditional Shield of the Iban Society in Sarawak", the Iban community believes that the wood used for carving has a spirit. The motifs of each carving explain subtle interpretations either through literature, history and traditions as well as the skills of a craftsmanship in the past.

According to the beliefs of the Iban community, to carve terabai is not just a mere specialty. This is because every selected Iban sculptor gets an idea from God either through a hunch or a dream. Or, in relative terms, it is directly related to the worship and admiration of the Gods according to their animism.
