Penang Puppet Festival (PPF) returns from 12–23 August 2026 with its third edition, BERBUNGA (生花), celebrating puppetry as a living tradition that continues to grow, adapt and inspire across generations. The festival opens with a historic gathering of representatives from five regions where Hokkien glove puppetry (POTEHI) continues to flourish—Penang, Jakarta, Singapore, Taipei and Zhangzhou (Fujian)—marking the first time these living traditions come together in Southeast Asia. Over 12 days, audiences can experience performances, exhibitions, artist talks, workshops, forums and community programmes featuring diverse forms of puppetry, including POTEHI, Teochew iron-rod puppetry, Wayang Kulit Kelantan, contemporary puppetry and shadow theatre. More than a celebration of performance, PPF 2026 creates a platform for intercultural dialogue, artistic exchange and heritage transmission, inviting audiences to discover how traditional puppetry continues to bloom in the contemporary world.
Step into the captivating world of “Collodion, Silver, Glass: Contemporary Wet Plate Photography”, where nineteenth-century photographic techniques meet contemporary artistic vision. Featuring the work of Steve Tan (陈兴国), Malaysia’s only professional wet plate photographer, this exhibition showcases hauntingly beautiful portraits and still lifes created through a painstaking process that transforms glass, silver, and light into timeless images. Alongside the exhibition, audiences can discover the craftsmanship behind this rare medium through demonstrations and workshops, offering a glimpse into one of photography’s earliest—and most enchanting—forms.
Slow down and look closer, the streets here hold many untold stories beneath their surface. “Street Fragments: Jalan Gurdwara” invites audiences to rediscover one of George Town’s familiar streets through the traces of its layered past. Once known as Brick Kiln Road—named after brick kilns whose exact locations have long been forgotten—today’s Jalan Gurdwara takes its name from the century-old Sikh temple that continues to stand as a landmark of the neighbourhood.
