Do You Care About Your Ancestors?

Kam Raslan | Ong Kar Jin | Dhanya Nair

Do You Care About Your Ancestors?

A Bit of Culture returns with Dhanya Nair and Ong Kar Jin joining our host Kam Raslan on another cultural adventure. Kam begins the show by talking about ancestors and asks his guests whether they care about who their ancestors are. They then smoothly transition into talking about archiving and how one decides whether something is worth archiving or not. In the second part of the show, Dhanya shares her feelings about JK Rowling and whether there is a line that needs to be drawn when it comes to separating the art from the artist. Tune in to hear their takes on these topics, and more!
