Hik Bersamak Exhibition For Pera+Flora+Fauna, Venice Biennale 2022




Working with Projek Rabak in showcasing at Pera + Flora + Fauna, an official Collateral Event at the 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.


The Exhibition, HIK BERSAMAK! is in collaboration with the Indigenous Semai Community in Sungkai, Perak, headed by Yahya Torek, the Indigenous artist from the village with Jayzuan from Projek Rabak. The exhibition included co- creating art, following a drawing workshop with the community, a short documentary on their current reality in Malaysia's political climate in treatment with indigenous communities, a fashion film documenting their loss in preservation in practice, such as the traditional making of their bark clothing and a performance piece performed by Dhan Illiani Yusof at the venue, Archivi Della Misericordia which calls for the act of solidarity in the very spirit of comradery and sharing, celebrating the Semai community's belief of being the center of the universe, beyond borders, identity and constructs.

The Exhibition held a sharing session and forum talk around the topic and themes of Ecology, Indigenous Culture, and the role of the arts facilitated by Annie Jael Kwan.
