The Pangrok Sulap members are not going to let anything stand in their way of making art. If they can’t do it together, then they can very well do it individually.
The activist art collective from Sabah, originally based in Ranau (a two-hour drive from Kota Kinabalu), currently stands at eight artists who have made a name for themselves for their stunning woodcut works as well as their community-centric events including workshops, school art support and charity work.
