"This exhibition is very much an on-site experience, a lot of hard work has been put into it, but the pandemic situation now will not allow for a walk-in show. Everyone involved had to stay focused and rethink ways for May We... to reach the art public. The show will go virtual,"

We chimed into the conversation of how will we continue to sustain ourselves through the pandemic.

Thank you The Star for highlighting this.

History’s Repositories - chances of freedom, serenity, and sanctuary

Wooden strips, fabrics, h**p string, glass
2020

Of history’s repositories at chances of freedom, serenity, and sanctuary — a reverence towards the unfortunate and the inevitable violence. Departing from the intergenerational fear, anxiety, and discontent embedded in the socio-cultural-political nexus over five decades, this work is an invitation for each individual to participate in discussions and discourses revolving around the incident. The unbecoming of tapping into a violent past, the act of cleansing in the installation offers a contemplative performance both literally and metaphorically; compounding into the realm of the incident being a ‘spontaneous violence’. The materialisation of the saying is translated into our domestic and socio-cultural fabrics. Through the lens of domesticity, airing one’s dirty laundry and the washing of someone else’s feet calls upon the purpose of the responsibility to study the sufferings. The association and interdependency of ‘society’ and ‘water’ are embedded and significant throughout generations of cultural and spiritual beliefs and religious practices. May we; in body, mind, and spirit observe reverence and wisdom on the stage.

Belas Masa
Digital print on newsprint paper
2020

For Malaysians born after May 13 1969, the tragic incident seems distant. Today the memories of May 13, 1969, are shrouded by policies, acts, national pillars and anxieties to recall the conflict faced on that date. In schools, students are introduced to this historic event via a few sentences in Malaysian history textbooks. Other details and narratives were replaced by the Rukun Negara’s expressions, written on the back of school exercise books. Today, efforts to remember this incident are mostly biased due to personal experiences, values and beliefs passed on from the older generation. ‘Belas Masa’ is an act of remembering by the inheritors of the tragic past. The work suggests a reading into various fragmented sources — memories, artefacts and documents that continue to multiply and exist as representations of May 13, 1969.

“Salvation can happen here; it may require some salt”
Salt, acrylic and wood
2020

For all of us, the May 13, 1969, incident is muddled through various interpretations, opinions and beliefs. It has left the inheritors of such memories anxious, fearful and discontent. While the inheritors explore the fragments of history, memory, pain and fear, they are faced with a decision to make — to turn away from the discomfort, or to dig deep into the same emotions to allow the process of recuperating and healing. The work attempts to bring audiences through a process that could encourage healing - by facing the fragments of May 13, 1969, left for the generations today.

[artists notes]

A big part of May We’s exhibition artworks are focused and derived from conversations the artists have with each other, the curators and research they’ve gathered in the last 7 months.

For Sam of No-To-Scale, he found value and importance in looking back into the fragments of memories passed down from those who lived and experienced the May 13, 1969 incident; especially moments experienced by his mother at the time. The emotions of being scared, confused and uncertain as the chaos unfolded.

Sam is also running a workshop 'Reflection/Exchange: Memory Recollection' to encourage speaking about difficult histories with family members. Sign up here: https://buff.ly/38ZHCSx
