Shifting Whispers

“Shifting Whispers” is a multidisciplinary exhibition by the artistic collective Parallax that maps the geographical and narrative layers of our environment. Utilizing a unique “Core and Canopy” layout, the programme features five individual artistic islands (the Cores) that represent different facets of identity and landscape, all unified by a collective canopy that represents the fluid, shifting connections between them.

The exhibition brings together five distinct voices exploring personal interpretations of the unseen: Thanesh Kichi, Rozeree Mohamed, Siti Gunong, Plengpin Khunwang, and Norfatihah Yusof.

At the heart of the exhibition is The Nexus, a collaborative centrepiece installation where all five artists’ mediums intersect to form a single, breathing entity.

“Shifting Whispers” invites festival-goers to journey into the unknown and navigate a multisensory forest of memories. By moving away from rigid definitions of art, these artists demonstrate that creativity is a state of constant evolution, ultimately blurring the lines between the observer and the living environment.

The Natural History Museum of Yeahnahnesia by Yok and Sheryo

Cultprint, Penang hosts “The Natural History Museum of Yeahnahnesia”, presented by artist duo Yok & Sheryo, curated by Deborah Lim, and realised in collaboration with SPUTNIKFOREST. The museum brings together a collection of rare artefacts, specimens and cultural objects—many exhibited publicly for the first time—offering an introduction to the island nation of Yeahnahnesia. Entrusted to the artists by the island’s guardians, these objects reveal its natural history, rituals and traditions, offering insight into a civilisation shaped by balance, playfulness and unhurried living. Visitors are invited to explore the museum’s collections through paintings, sculpture, installation and environmental design, encountering endemic species, ceremonial objects and enduring traditions that reveal the histories, beliefs and material culture of Yeahnahnesia. Through these collections, the museum invites audiences to reflect on the values that have shaped the island for generations—and to imagine what it might mean to embrace the Yeahnahnesian way of life.

Matahari 太阳

For centuries, humanity has lived under the certainty that the sun will rise each morning. But what if that promise was broken? ZXC Theatre Troupe’s MATAHARI is a thought-provoking post-apocalyptic fable that explores the fragile bond between humanity and the natural world. As the sun begins to fade and darkness threatens to become permanent, the work confronts themes of environmental neglect, broken promises, and the consequences of human actions. Through powerful storytelling and striking imagery, MATAHARI invites audiences to reflect on a future where survival depends on rediscovering our place within nature.

Con-Temporary Art

What if an entire contemporary art gallery could fit in the palm of your hand? Con-Temporary Art (CTA) by Joshua Kon and Arrvinrajis invites audiences into a miniature world where big ideas unfold on a 1/12-scale stage. Housed within a meticulously crafted travelling gallery, this unique project serves as a creative playground for artists to experiment, test bold concepts, and explore possibilities beyond the limits of conventional exhibition spaces. Small in size but vast in imagination, CTA challenges perceptions of scale and invites visitors to discover how contemporary art can surprise, provoke, and inspire in the most unexpected ways.
