States of Time

What does succession to a throne have to do with eco-tourism? Does authenticity in the culinary arts still exist and how does this define a state? When is it art and when is it exotica when it comes to representations of life and culture of a group of people and community?

is a panel discussion where experts and practitioners from the states of Perak, Sarawak and Melaka reflect on their homeland and practice as they reach out beyond their borders while simultaneously drawing the world in.
