Amid the lively action and bright colours of the ongoing George Town Festival in Penang, there is a photography exhibition that stands tall and proud at the Whiteaways Arcade.

Noted, a collaborative effort between writer Chen May Yee and photojournalist S.C. Shekar, presents 32 striking black and white portraits of journalists, documentary filmmakers, poets, cartoonists and artists, and of pages from their notebooks – essentially offering a glimpse into their world of storytelling. It is one where truth prevails, come hell or high water, and one that is shaped by values that stand the test of time.
