41 Hours at Bersih 4

b4_thumb5_web
This is an illustrated story documenting my time at Bersih 4, a street protest which took place from 2pm on 29 Aug 2015 to midnight the next day in Kuala Lumpur. It’s drawn in india ink on different kinds of paper, including a hotel letter and song sheets I saved from the protest.

The original artwork is being shown as part of Person(a): An Investigation into Self at Black Box, Publika, until 8 Nov 2015. I’m also showing documentation of ‘Mandi Bunga/Flower Bath‘, a project from 2013, which is based on my participation in the earlier Bersih rallies.
