The events of May 13, 1969 are reinterpreted here through literary responses. By exploring literature, academic articles, and archival material from multiple communities and generations of Malaysians, the online exhibition looks at the anxiety, alienation and self-censorship that followed and still surrounds this historical event. We review the exhibition. 


Everyone's A Critic is jointly presented with CENDANA. For updates on Malaysian arts and culture, visit BASKL.

Everyone's A Critic is our arts review show, where we discuss various works from the performing and visual arts scene, both local and international. Along with our guest reviewers, we critique these works and talk about what works, what doesn't, and generally, celebrate our love for the arts.
