Five Arts Centre, a homegrown performing arts group, has pooled its resources (members and volunteers) to start up two online arts archives to chronicle the many developments in the country’s colourful cultural past.
These archives – the My Art Memory Project (MAMP) and the Arts Education Archive Malaysia (AEAM) – were both launched at the Five Arts Centre studio in KL recently. This archival exercise follows in the footsteps of Five Art Centre’s 2015 book project called Staging History: Selected Plays From Five Arts Centre Malaysia 1984 – 2014.
