Many questions were asked and new conversations arise from the photos that were on exhibit. Guest of Honour, Kwok Kian Woon, made insightful comments and amazing opening speech.

The exhibition will go on till the 21st of Dec. Books containing photos and responses from the individual exhibitions will also be on sale at Objectifs.

In I REMEMBER IT ALL, Seelan Palay expresses his fascination with his family’s treasure trove of photographs predating the era of digital photography, and their ability to trigger memories of his past lived experiences.

In ENTAH, TAK TAHU, Shahrom Mahat considers his identity as a half Malay, half Chinese person raised Malay-Muslim, and examines whether the Haji Lane area, known today for music, food and entertainment, still bears traces of its past as a hub of spirituality and scholarship for Malay culture and Haj pilgrims.

Each Exactly Foundation resident artist will also launch a book together with his exhibition, and will lead a guided tour of their works, followed by a Q&A session.
