What does decolonisation mean in Malaysia today? And how do we begin to engage with it through the arts, education, and everyday practice?

Reframe & Resist: Decolonise Here and Now is a focused one-day seminar exploring creative and critical responses to decolonisation across visual arts, education, literature, and indigenous knowledge systems. The event brings together researchers, artists, educators, and cultural practitioners from Malaysia and abroad to rethink dominant narratives and reframe how we learn, teach, and make art.

‘Reframe & Resist: Decolonise Here and Now’ is a project awarded via the Connections Through Culture grant by the British Council in 2024-25.
