About
In this hands-on digital workshop, participants are invited to contribute to a collective imagined world.
Participants will receive a creative prompt centered on the theme of imaginary nostalgia . They are required to reinterpret the prompt into a digital drawing. By drawing on a tablets their drawings are instantly animated into a living digital realm, projected onto a shared screen that grows and transforms with every contribution. The space becomes a collective memory garden, glowing with the colors and stories of each child. The workshop functions as a preview for the final work that will be shown during the YSDAF festival at Elmina.
Guided by artists and facilitators, participants will:
- Explore the idea of nostalgia through imagination
- Create hand-drawn memories using digital tools
- See their artwork come alive in a shared visual space
- Reflect on how individual memories shape a collective digital spirit
Through drawing, the act becomes a gentle form of remembering and imagining together—a temporary digital sanctuary where memories and dreams intertwine.
Recommended Age: 3 - 12 years old

About Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival
After two months of Kampung Tour to five states around Peninsular Malaysia, Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival 2025 will finally be kicking off its much-anticipated Urban Tour from June to August 2025.
This time, festival goers will have three chances to catch YSDAF at three different locations around Klang Valley which means triple the fun and triple the excitement!
YSDAF 2025 Urban Tour begins at KL East Mall on 14 June, followed by PARC (Subang Jaya) on 5 July and, finally, Elmina Lakeside Mall on 9 August. Everyone is invited!
Like past festivals, YSDAF 2025 will feature bite-sized performances by Malaysian artistes across different genres, from the traditional to the contemporary, from music and dance to theatre and visual arts. Apart from its scale, what sets YSDAF apart is that it also offers a highly interactive experience so you will have the chance to get your hands dirty, pick up a new skill or craft your own masterpiece at one of its workshops.
The highlight of the Urban Tour are its anchor performances by its programme partners Young KL Singers, MyDance Alliance and Orang Orang Drum Theatre. Apart from these highlights, festival goers can look forward to a unique festival experience at each location as the programming ls largely different with a different lineup of artistes and acts.
