Having recently travelled around Malaysia, we realised we still do not know a lot about each other and our diverse culture. Perhaps it's time for us to collaborate to and promote our Malaysian culture and diversity to the next level!
​
Our aim is to modularise our artworks within our terms and guidelines. We are looking for a long term display (Minimum 3 months to a year) because we believe that the message of our Malaysian unity in diversity should be showcased, inspiring not just people within Malaysia, but also to spread our pride and positive efforts of Malaysia all over the world!
