The East is Green #4 - Artistic Expression Amidst Constraints and Conservatism

The East is Green is a mini-series where we bring you stories from the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia (also known as the Malay Heartland) in hopes of painting a more nuanced picture of its people, culture and politics. In this episode, we explore the arts scene of Kelantan & Terengganu and reflect on how they express themselves despite tight restrictions and conservatism, as well as how they negotiate with the various powers that be. We hear from: Intan Rafiza, Curator, Balai Seni NegaraJehabdulloh Jehsorhoh, Patani ArtspaceAnuwat Apimukmongkon, Patani ArtspaceHakim Sattu, Artist & Indie FilmmakerNaquib Mohammad, Folk SingerAhmad Syafiq Abdul Rahman, Dikir Barat PractitionerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
