Basic Colours Of Art Festival

DID you know that the 

Malaysian Constitution

has been amended more than 600 times since 1957? The Centre for Independent Journalism’s interactive exhibition, one of three concurrent exhibitions at the Black & White Festival at The Annexe, Central Market in Kuala Lumpur, highlights some of these changes and asks you to mark your preferences between the original and the amended ones.

The Black & White Fest is a mini multi-arts festival featuring black and white images that explore diversity, politics and film history in Malaysia. There  is also a photography exhibition where 10 Malaysian photographers, through their black & white prints, seek diversity in a monochromatic world. All works are shot on black and white film and printed on silver gelatin paper. Meanwhile film-maker Amir Muhammad and designer Liza Manshoor celebrate the 75th anniversary of Malay cinema by turning hundreds of “found” black & white stills from early Malay films into quirky and affordable posters. This exhibition, called Wayang Kita-Kita, also implicitly acknowledges the crucial role of piracy in constructing our cultural memory. 
Catch the Black & White Fest which ends Oct 5 from 11am to 7pm at The Annexe, Central Market, KL. Admission is FREE.
