MAKASSAR – Makassar International Eight Festival and Forum 2022 or Makassar F8 finally arrived at the end of the event.
The fifth day of the show featured performances from various regions, both local and international.
The fashion Show from Singapore, as example, which featured dozens of fashions designed by the famous designer Hayden Ng.
Not only that, the fashion show from Thailand also presented quirky but still luxurious fashions by designer Pitnapat.
“This Makassar F8 stage unites all cultures in the world, as Makassar is on its way to become a world-class city. There are also fashions from various districts in Indonesia,” said Danny Pomanto, Mayor of Makassar, Sunday (11/9).
Ngoit Ngemppolo dance from Paser Regency, East Kalimantan, also took part to enliven the night.
There were dozens of dancers from Kajang, Bulukumba Regency, as well who performed the Pabbite Passapu dance. This dance narrates the pesabungan fight between Sawerigading and his son Lagaligo.
This dance became a symbol of the release of two Phinisi from the Losari Beach Pavilion pier to Bulukumba Regency to take part in the Phinisi festival which will be held in mid-September this year.
“I really love arts and culture. All is history that must be perpetuated. I hope there will be more cultures in every district, city in South Sulawesi, in Indonesia and even the world that will be displayed in Makassar F8 next year,” said Danny.
