Admire the textile art pieces with your fellow art aficionados at the Kenyalang Circus exhibition.

The exhibit is a personal project for him as it traces the faultline of heritage between inherited past and internalised exotification to the commercialisation of Borneo and Sarawak as “Malaysia’s exotic unknown.”
