Many of us would be familiar with the popular Malay legend of Puteri Gunung Ledang. Penang-based artist Foo May Lyn is presenting her own interpretation of this story, with an exhibition called 10,000 Mosquito Hearts, which re-examines the legend from multiple perspectives. We speak with May Lyn and OurArtProjects’ project manager Ellen Lee about the works being shown.
