In conjunction with Pesta Sayap this year, a group of visual artists were brought to Kuala Selangor on a field trip spanning two days. The pesta, an initiative by the Malaysian Nature Society with support from Majlis Daerah Kuala Selangor, celebrates the myriad of birds making a stop in the district during migratory season. Pesta Sayap returns big-time on 22 October this year, even debuting a visual art exhibition starring the aforementioned artists. The following is an account of the special trip arranged by the majlis daerah for its guests.

During our film programme (1+RE)DISCOVER at Iskarnival weeks ago, we asked Minut Init‘s Dali Abdul Azis to helm a special segment titled “Newsantara”. He was tasked to curate a selection of videos sourced from video-streaming platforms and write something that will help us gain a little more insight into the Nusantara. But unlike the short essay Wendi submitted on the cinema of the region, Dali’s sent in a conversation which pieces together an understanding of the Nusantara from the perspective of a European traveler. We hope you enjoy this piece.

Very recently, The Daily Seni team went underground venue-hopping around Petaling Jaya to check out ultimate “go-to” places.
