Ongoing Events
1. Biar Pete de Besuara (Art Exhibition) @ Gallery Gerimis, GMBB (27 May – 30 September)
Biar Pete de Besuara is an exhibition by Bah Saluji, a writer and illustrator of two Orang Asli children’s books. The title of the exhibition is Semai for ‘Let the Maps Speak’. If an Orang Asli map had a voice, it would tell the story of a peaceful people living for countless generations in harmony with the rainforest.
Bah Saluji and his vibrant watercolour paintings showcase that idyllic life – but also today’s harsh reality of the rampant encroachment of Orang Asli customary land. This exhibition invites us to reflect on our own relationship with the land and the urgent need for greater respect for indigenous rights.
Entry is free.
2. Escapism (Art Exhibition & Workshop) @ Gmbb KL (17 June – 2 July, 11 am – 8 pm)
Running in the second half of June from 17 June to 2 July, this collaborative event features two creative friends – hand-painting upcycle artist Jinx and intuitive painting artist Sam.
