Join us for a conversation with street artist Ernest Zacharevic as we explore the evolution of street art in Malaysia. We begin by hearing about Ernest’s journey from Lithuania to Malaysia, then dive into the power of street art as a tool for urban rejuvenation and social change. We discuss its evolving role in Malaysia’s cultural landscape, the founding of Cultprint, and the bold statements behind Ernest’s very own exhibition, Culture Shock.
