The East is Green #4 - Artistic Expression Amidst Constraints and Conservatism

The East is Green is a mini-series where we bring you stories from the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia (also known as the Malay Heartland) in hopes of painting a more nuanced picture of its people, culture and politics. 

In this episode, we explore the arts scene of Kelantan & Terengganu and reflect on how they express themselves despite tight restrictions and conservatism, as well as how they negotiate with the various powers that be.

Jehabdulloh Jehsorhoh, Patani Artspace

Anuwat Apimukmongkon, Patani Artspace

Hakim Sattu, Artist & Indie Filmmaker
