Multiculturalism, interculturalism, hybridities, Peranakan, Chitty, creolisation โ we use these terms all the time, but what do they really mean?
Letโs ask the experts.
Selected participants will have the opportunity to explore and interrogate โperanakanโ and creole cultures โ from the well-known Baba Nyonya and Chitty communities, to the lesser-known โperanakanโ cultures of Kelantan and Terengganu, as well as the new creole cultures and future hybridities emerging today.
Through a dynamic series of talks, performance lectures, discussions, and practical physical classes, participants will engage directly with both academics and artists working across disciplines and traditions.
The line-up includes Sumit Mandal, Vila Somiah, Wong Yee Von, Norzizi Zulkifli, Joseph Gonzales, Pauline Fan, Pue Giok Hun, Noramin Farid, Kam Raslan, and Jo Kukathas.
We hope participants leave inspired to begin โ or continue โ their multicultural artistic journey.
Both arts students and performing arts professionals are invited to apply and represent Malaysia as part of this regional exchange initiative supported by UNESCO Jakarta.
