A long day, a quiet nap, a chill night, a celebration, a feast of memories - some already dissipated, and some you can no longer remember. Everything coming together in a jumble of emotions and images. As a new village appears and landscapes slowly move, you observe daily routines that interlace with each other, attracting attention and fading away. In search of a new village and a contemporary zone, Raymond Liew Jin Pin delved into the field of traditional dance movements. He allows himself – created with three contemporary dancers in Germany — and now with three Malaysian artists Loke Soh Kim, Harshini Sukumaran and Tai Chun Wai will reinterpret his cultural roots and embody his biography, to merge old and new, east and west, „tradition“ and „modernity“. And at the end, most of it disassembled, the space of the party, the heat, the song, are still there, waiting for you to revisit.

IMPERMANENCE

Water, a vessel to purification,
A vessel to impermanence.
The residue of all matter is carried by water over time,
From the strong ridges of mountains, to the sands in sea.

Held during the month of the highest rain fall, nature creeps in to Kongsi KL as rain falls within its confined spaces. Its deep route of industry is transfigured, aged with water and sand, where the self and the infinite can be reflected

National Bandits - A Beautiful Mistake
Mayaw Biho | 2000 | 56min | DVD

The elderly Bununs of Tung-Pu have habitually referred to workers at the Vu Mountain National Park as 'national bandits' instead of 'national park employees.' In the eyes of these old Bununs, the designation of this land as national park has robbed them of most of their ancestral territories, leaving only a very small portion for them to live and farm. To them, this is what bandits do.

SOS! Wah Lian Wooden Machinery Factory that has opened its doors in Salak South New Village since 1970 was abruptly destroyed by the violent thunderstorm that hit Kuala Lumpur a few days ago.

Since the incident, Uncle Hui, the devastated owner of Wah Lian, has decided that this is the time for his retirement. However, there are still some unfinished furniture and parts in the factory, which will go to waste if he fails to find a new owner for them.

So here is how you can help! You can drop by KongsiKL and adopt some beautifully crafted furniture parts made by Uncle Hui and his craftsmen, which is priced at only RM5 – RM100! Let’s help to raise fund for Uncle Hui and the other wood masters!

* Note: Delivery service is NOT provided.

We understand that you are unsure if you have the right tools or sufficient skills to make a complete furniture out of the parts, or finding other ways to use them.

Kongsi Kolab is here to help! Lost & Found by Arcadia KLwill be here if you want to know how to start, or book an appointment with them to use the equipment in KongsiKL . There you go, a chance to help our neighbours in need, and also an opportunity to pick up a new hobby!
