Curators Ong Jo-Lene and Yap Sau Bin join us this week to discuss art theory and how it is connected to the Malaysian context. How have artists responded to a divisive identity politics? How have they attempted to carve out alternative spaces of expression? Fuad and Sharaad probe critically, as always.
