Textiles of Alor presents handwoven textiles produced by several ethnic groups indigenous to Alor Regency, Indonesia. Alor textiles are underappreciated in Indonesian textile studies. Dr. Linda S. McIntosh, an independent researcher, and Ms. Yulianti Peni, a curator at the Museum 1000 Moko of Kalabahi, Alor Regency, are working diligently to reverse this. Mr. Julius Alelang joined the research team of the Endangered Material Knowledge Program-sponsored project documenting natural dyeing and the production of warp ikat textiles in Alor Regency.

We are excited to share our research on the cultures of Alor Regency, Indonesia, and the stories of Alor textiles and their producers.
