Malaysian indigenous artist Shaq Koyok's mural pays tribute to Mah Meri cultural activist

Visual artist Shaq Koyok, an orang asli from the Temuan tribe in Selangor, has just completed his biggest mural project - a portrait of Maznah Unyan, founder of Tompoq Topoh, the Mah Meri women’s first weave initiative on Pulau Carey in Selangor, that sells and promotes traditional handicraft.

The mural, titled The Light Of Mah Meri Surviving Material Culture, is painted on the wall of the two-storey Centre for Malaysian Indigenous Studies in Kuala Lumpur.
