Join Malaysian writer + research, Wen Di Sia for her experience on being collaborative partner to Orang Asli communities through Germis Art!
About this Event

This session introduces two Gerimis Art publications created in collaboration with Tompoq Topoh: the Mah Meri Animal Folklore and Adat & Alam: The Mah Meri Ancestral Spirit Flowers. Together, we explore how bookmaking can serve as a community archive for the Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia and as a medium where oral histories, cultural practices, and Indigenous knowledge can be documented and carried forward.


About the Speaker

Wen Di Sia is a writer and researcher. She was trained as a journalist, has 10 years in the advertising industry, and now dedicates herself as a collaborative partner to Orang Asli communities through her collective, Gerimis Art.
