Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) offered participants a culturally immersive experience as part of the Visit Maldives Storytellers’ Conference 2023. Titled ‘Sail the Seas of Time: Thousands of Years of Maldivian History’, the insightful workshop was held at Crossroads Maldives and aimed to explore various aspects of the Maldives. During the session, participants were carried back in time to the ancestral age, immersing them in a landscape of colours, rhythms and riveting stories from our forefathers’ era.
The session unfolded with a troupe of traditional dancers who performed traditional rhythms and dances to the participants near the beach. The attendees were then invited to don the symbolic Maldivian attire, through which they learned the differences between old and new Dhivehi Libaas as well as Feyli used for special occasions. Following this, partakers were introduced to the art of Maldivian embroidery weaving called ‘Kasabu Viyun’.
