Five galleries around Kuala Lumpur are coming together to feature five different artists in a joint exhibition taking place in five spaces around the city - called Art Gallery Weekend 2020 Right Here Right Now. Jointly organised by The Back Room KL, Artemis Art, Richard Koh Fine Art, Suma Orientalis and Core Design Gallery, the initiative aims to revive the experience of visiting art galleries and highlight the importance of working together in the post-MCO landscape. We speak with Suma Orientalis gallery director Sophia Shung to find out more.
