Shining a light on a difficult chapter of Malaysian history

A nostalgic tune rings within the space. Rahmah Pauzi, a journalist, draws the outlines of a textbook with white chalk on the floor. She colours it in. Then she puts her fingers in the thick layer of chalk dust, takes two to three steps forward, and leaves traces of her fingerprints on the floor, now serving as a blackboard and stage.

Elsewhere, the activist and graphic designer Fahmi Reza strikes the stage with chalk. Deliberate and purposeful; angry. There is no missing the invisible target; each strike marks a target of its own.
