This year, the Barehands Residency has continued to solidify its reputation as a dynamic hub for cross-cultural artistic collaboration.

Situated on a 1.5ha property called Akaldiulu, nestled in the lush landscapes of Hulu Langat, Selangor, this residency, founded in 2010 by artist and printmaker Juhari Said, has become a gathering place for artists worldwide to exchange ideas, share experiences and expand their creative practices.
