Once a row of 1950s interconnected shophouses, the Zhongshan Building served as the long-time home of the Selangor Zhongshan Association, a frozen foods distributor and various merchants over the years. Spearheaded by OUR ArtProjects, the building has been transformed into a vibrant independent arts hub and today is home of many local artists and designers. This week, Liza Ho joins us as she talks about how this space is setting out to foster a dynamic art community.
