After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the sixth edition of the annual Shantanand Festival of Arts 2022 (SFA 2022) takes place this weekend, from Dec 9-11 at the Temple of Fine Arts (TFA) in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.

The theme this year – "Remember, Reignite, Reconnect" – celebrates the community’s love for the arts and aims to rejuvenate the desire to keep dance, music, drama, literature, visual art and other traditional art forms alive.
