KUCHING: A local social enterprise and cultural initiative Catama is launching an online virtual tour of its contemporary art exhibition.
In its press release, it said the exhibition, which was originally physically held here last month will be now presented as a 3D interactive tour online, allowing new audiences to experience the widely lauded exhibition, which features the work of artists, craft artisans, musicians and cultural practitioners from throughout Borneo as well as West Malaysia, Australia and the United Kingdom.
The virtual exhibition tour online is slated to launch on Jan 19.
“The exhibition was really one of the first of its kind in Kuching, bringing together and profiling a really diverse selection of young, contemporary artists who are experimenting with new mediums to express themselves,” said creative director and exhibition curator Catriona Maddocks.
“We’re really excited to be able to use technology to present this to audiences who couldn’t physically visit the exhibition, and give it a permanent home online,” she said.
Curated by Catriona, and presented by Catama and Borneo Bengkel the virtual exhibition launch will be hosted by Seni Kita, a Haus KCH initiative, via zoom on Thursday (Jan 19) at 7.30pm.
