Cotabato City kicked off Monday the 59th Araw ng Cotabato with the opening of the Inaul Fabric Exhibit.

The month-long exhibit at the Old City Hall showcases the grandeur of Inaul—a traditional fabric depicting the rich Muslim culture and heritage.

Striking as its intricate designs and patterns, the Inaul Fabric Exhibit highlights the various Inaul fabric varieties, actual weaving loom, and photographs of Inaul clothing wore in the Philippine Fashion Runway, the city government said.

The exhibit was realized to “relive” the city’s heritage targeting the younger generation or the millennials, it said.

It noted that Inaul has slowly become outmoded by modernization and advancement.

“This (exhibit) is for our young ones to get to know our rich culture, and to recognize the identity of Cotabato City,” said Vice Mayor Hon. Graham Nazer G. Dumama.

The Inaul Fabric Exhibit will run until June 29 as an effort to preserve the city’s culture and the arts, and live up with its adage as the “City of Cultural Charms,” the local government said.
