Gerimis Art Project

We are a collaborative artistic and archiving initiative that co-creates cultural content with Orang Asli artisans and contemporary artists. We primarily work with Orang Asli communities who are already leading their own efforts to recognise, restore, and preserve their arts, culture, and traditions. By working together, we aim to further empower and facilitate the autonomy of Orang Asli discourses via a series of artworks, photography works, zines, installations, workshops, and exhibitions.
