Art Exhibition Performance: Present by Nur Khairi Hamidi + Monalimi (Opening Ceremony)

This performance uses dance and paint, guided by songs that Hamidi and Halimi bonded over during their shared childhood in Kampung Selamat and Kempadang Perdana, before embarking on their separate lives. Layered paint marks mimic growth and age as new experiences overwrite the old, with each passing moment in this live action painting. Music acts as a catalyst, allowing their interweaved memories to paint itself into reality.
