In a world of AI IPOs, and trillionaire wealth creation hype, an afternoon of traditional art and culture can be subliminal, and healing in the best way. Madam Pauline Fan, gave a talk which is so much, an oral history itself. The presentation has great photos, totally evocative. A powerful effort of public education beyond click bait sensationalism.
Learning takes many forms, it can be in a Saturday afternoon talk at an Art Gallery and these conversations are needed, if not totally friction-less. The questions focused on the language, and the debates around it.
This is a talk which pushes the writer in me to think, about Malaysia beyond the twin towers.
